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?

Thanks for the info.
However; reality is not quite here yet. Still many problems with larger lithium batteries "safety wise", controlling thermal runaway, etc.
It would be nice to hear from an owner of one of these vehicles after they have had time to use it under "real world" conditions. Too much "hype" early on from some of these manufactures. A year or two of use from real customers brings out the flaws. Boeing airliner is a good example.
I need to address some misinformation. There's different chemistries of LI. Not one kind. The one's used in boats and RV's are NOT the same one's used in the 787, mainstream EV's, laptops, and phones. The lesser LI batts are MUCH less energy dense and not as volatile and are proven and safe. If you're interested in their capabilities visit the DIY EV forum and some of the sailing forums.
