Ready to get my feet wet with Solar power
Thought I would post my idea here and let the experts tell me what I am missing. First off, I own 2ea RV's. 1 is a gooseneck horse trailer with living quarters and the other is a bumper pull prowler....

Hi lc,
Consumption in a house is far beyond what an RV may use.
If the microwave is a "must have" then a 2000 watt pure sine wave inverter is "in the cards" for you. Currently the "best bang for the buck" for a 2k psw inverter is this: Prowatt-SW2000-Sine-Wave
Here is a simple flow chart.
Budget-->Energy Audit-->Battery bank size-->number of watts-->PWM or MPPT.
Here is a link to the rather special spreadsheet that N8GS has created to help size solar battery charging systems!
