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?

Hi,
Smallest air I've seen is about 4500 btu's. That would draw 30 amps @ 12 volts. 30 x 8 hours = 240 amp-hours.
240 amp-hours in 20 minutes implies charging at 720 amps. That would take 18 pd 40 amp chargers which would draw about 12600 watts @ 120 volts.
Or if we go to 48 volts it is still 60 amp-hours X 3 = 180 amps
I don't think it's a portable charger LOL.
