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,
From a battery charging approach for 464 amp-hours of bank the range of wattage needed is between about 280 to 700 watts. (based on between 60 and 150 watts per 100 amp-hours).
Since you plan on a lot of electrical use I'd lean to the higher number.
Pick a controller that has battery sense wires and a temperature probe.
I'd probably go with the Tristar 60 amp controller. If I were feeling "flush" money wise I'd go to the MPPT version of that controller.
