Solar on a small TT
I'm looking at a small travel trailer (starcraft satellite 17rb) which is only about 20ft long. Roof is composite one piece without much of a flat area. One thing that I absolutely want on my next R...

You were probably on the low energy use side of things until you mentioned microwave.

It's interesting how often folks will come up with a shopping list of small draw items they want to power with battery / solar but then almost as an afterthought throw in a high draw appliance such as a microwave oven and think nothing of it. :R That tells me they haven't thought this through thoroughly, not realizing what a game changer any high draw device represents. Some solar aficiondos willing to throw their wallet at a project like this wouldn't agree but I see solar as most practical for those willing to actively manage their power consumption and restrict their usage to low draw devices.

Nope. High draw items are a matter of inverter size and battery capacity. Nothing to do with solar. Solar is just another way to recharge the batteries.
Of course this has everything to do with solar when that solar is the means of recharging a high capacity battery bank capable of powering high draw devices. Good grief, one is useless without the other. :S
