Do you have other charging sources like a genset? If yes how much can/are you willing to use it? Where are you camping with only 12 hours light in the summer? Or are you thinking 12 productive hours?

I have a 22' TT. If yours is like mine I have room for one largish panel in the middle and 2 long stripes of space down the sides, but layouts vary a lot. What matters is the specific shape of the spaces you have open, and how they will be compromised by shadows from things like AC.

A lot of people run a ratio of between 60% to 100% watts in panels to amp hours of battery capacity.

I have a 2000i honda for backup. 12 hours was on the low end but yes avg, pro hours... probably more because i will be far north.

I think I will shoot for 200 - 250 to start.

NOW, with all the junk and non junk, china made etc. it seems impossible to know what brands are ok to go with. Is it simply looking at construction?

the only dealer that seems ok and close to me is

his products are described above..
