HELP! I'm building a custom travel trailer.
Hi everyone, My name is Darla and I’m going to be building a small custom RV later this year to travel solo full time throughout the United States. Yup, I’m doin it! I would love to share my RV ...

By the way, don't be the least bit daunted by solar. I was, until I did it... and it was a total snap. Bought a 75W 4A panel, a basic controller rated to handle up to 4.5A, a 7 pin receptacle and a short extension cord. Hacked the cord in half and connected the cut ends to the panel wires and the controller's IN wires. The OUT wires got connected to the 7 pin (which plugs to the trailer's wiring harness). Now I can put my panel out in the sun, connect the plugs and let 'er rip... er, I mean trickle. ;)
:E Thanks for your feedback. I might consider a single stand alone solar panel in addition to my roof mounted ones, but with 4 on the roof I'm probably at overkill now. I'm one of these people that tends to over do it when it comes to things I don't completely understand. It's the "be covered" principle.
