Solar Power forTrailer
I have a 2007 Artic Fox 22g trailer.I am looking to upgrade the power to use a solar power system. I am wondering what systems I could get or how I should go about installing one.

is that a typo on the 1-1.5W/100AH, you meant 1-1.5W/1AH maybe?
anyways I don't think it is becoming less important, but rather going above that might be less important.
Yes, a typo, meant 1-1.5W per 1AH.
Having an oversize solar is good when you want it to be your only or main source of power. In rain/clouds 700W solar would work like a 70W, with daily harvest barely covering propane fridge thermostat, detectors, lights, pump, small electronics. You can still make it, battery won't go down. With 400W becoming 40W you're drawing from the battery and who knows how long the dark spell will last. My needs don't increase beyond necessary when I'm not on hook-ups. Maybe for others self-control is more difficult.
