Yeah I don't understand that comment, I didn't even see his earlier one be claimed to have made. Maybe with a different name? An extra battery will add more AH, that is a given.
And yes, I completely agree with the statements about adding more solar being a good idea AND about my camping style. I haven't had any issues making my current setup work for us as a family. I just added a 32" TV and a small inverter too run it, as well as plan to add a 1500w inverter so I can make popcorn in the microwave without firing up the gen. I think I'd still make it with what I have but I'm just looking for more breathing room energy wise. I have 100% LED now, I replaced my only incandescent light, the porch light, with an LED. That should help a little. I plan to increase solar as I can, up to 4 panels total. I keep thinking I want to mount one or two up top but then I'll be camping in the shade and will be wasted. With my 200w of panels, I've already been in situations where they make more electricity than I need - in the desert of course.
I still think I'm adding a third battery and maybe a third panel depending on how the first camping trip of the year goes. Hopefully with no gen usage!
My coach has this up front - I'm guessing it's for DC connections to things like my powered stabilizers, right?? Do they sell a DC distribution block with breakers that I can use to clean this up? I don't like the live bus bar on the top. Obviously not the end of the world, but while I'm in there.... :)
Thanks
