Solar is just a way to stretch out the time between generator or shore power recharges. You can stretch out that time from every day to every second day to every few months, depending. So what are you expecting/wanting to do?
where does that come from. I did three weeks in the 5th wheel this sumer, and every night before I went to bed the four 6V batteries were 100% charged. then I did two weeks in the truck camper in september in alberta so using the furnace every night. I was back to 100% around noon every day and stayed there untill it started getting dark. definatly not just for "streatching" the period between recharging with a genny. if done properly it is a totaly replacment for a generator.
as to the OP's original question there are not any good forums or such when it comes to 12V rv related solar. there are some very good sites that deal with off grid and on grid high voltage static setups. its all relitive and you can take bits and pieces from there and apply it to here.
Totally agree.
My trailer has not seen shore power for over 4 years and my pair of GC2's are alive and well after 9 years of usage.
