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....

The big thing you are going to run into, is splitting the DC portion of your camper from your AC portion. This is why I have two Solar systems. They both can run AC/DC simultaneously and in an emergency, but if you send your rover too far from the mother ship, I mean the camper, you are going to run into BIG problems with your DC demands.
One of the other reasons I have two solar systems, is for redundancy. So if I have a failure, my equipment is interchangeable.

Bryan, I had not planned on splitting the AC/DC in the RV's. I have 2 RV's at this time and I wanted a solar power bank separate from the RV's so it could sit in the sun and my RV in the shade, however with 2 RV's I may pull the gooseneck horse trailer on one trip but take the bumper pull the next trip. Best long term solution on RV's is to have one that both me and the DW likes so I don't want to start modifying the RV's which may make them less sellable or I can't get my money back. Plus, I can use a mobile solar power plant around the farm when not RV'ing (If the full timing don't work out).
