Solar Powered RV
Is there a way to run the Motorhome with solar panels (especially the A/C and microwave)? If so, how much do I need?
Forum Discussion
A/C - no.
Microwave - yes, with big enough inverter (2000W?) and big enough battery bank (400 AH?).
A couple of 12V fans will make life a lot easier, you might not need A/C that often.
MW is the 3rd power-hungry item after A/C and 120V fridge. For MW and other items - assuming your fridge is propane - you need at least 400W total of panels. Better yet, max you roof space up and put as much solar wattage as you can, you won't regret it in a solar MH.
