Solar Controllers--Don't be a Sucker! :(

Um, well... either those threads are wrong or the authors have different setups than I do.

Off topic but just about every RV has the typical 13500 BTU or 15000 BTU A/C unit or two or three. Yours would be the exception. Not to mention I think those Polar Cubs have low draws anyways. No way can the typical RV units run from inverter without a substantial battery bank and solar investment (which few have roof space for). Then there's the differing usage scenarios where some people use A/C at low temps (like 80F) so cycling is low. I'm a desert rat so A/C doesn't come on till triple digits. I would need a monster bank and loads of solar. There was a couple of interesting discussions on the feasibility of doing this, consensus was battery capacity was easy, recharging for the next day of usage was the difficult part.
