My current Travel Trailer battery is dead, but I have planned to replace it with a 12 volt deep cycle.
Are you always going to be at the campsite?
-Almost always
Are these portable items likely to grow legs?
-I suppose everything is but I will have a spacious campsite.
Will your trailer be moving frequently, if so it wont be charging on moving day.
-No
Do you want to be setting up and taking them down frequently?
-I wouldn't mind if the setup works well
Do you have plenty of available storage for them?
-Never enough storage but I plan to store the panel on my bed while relocating.
Those are all thought provoking questions. Before I mount anything I wanna "get my feet wet" by starting out small. And only because I need my phone for work. And I think we all want or have wanted to do some type of solar setup. I'm not worried about them growing legs and might hook up my bike lock to it or something now that I'm thinking about it
And thanks for the link, I see a difference between that and the renogy one on amazon I was thinking about is that there is 2 additional connections on the charge controller. I'm assuming that's to hook up 12 volt things? Like are there lightbulbs or usb (phone) chargers that can hook up to that plug?
