So with that in mind, I'd double whatever is recommended due to poor sunlight, shade factors etc...
I might go with another 160, four on the camper roof and as a last resort another set of batteries but I don't think I should have too, for some reason it's just not working as "I" think it should be (dealer installed), so the new controller is the first stop...
Hope that helps...
Solar is nice
Hey Frank!
From the photos I have seen on your system while upgrading your charge controller I would certainly upgrade your cables from your charge controller to battery bank, battery bank to inverter and convertor. Also I would balance your battery bank too. One of your photos shows your batteries separated by 3 feet or more. Also, review the distances between your charge controller and battery bank and invertor. There are maximum distances for optimum performance in these connections.

Heyya Bryan,
I know eh?? The controller and Bus are the next upgrade along with the wiring... as noted...
The wires are mixed, thus the bus as I understand it, and I know I loose power due to the various lengths, but not many options on battery storage...
Camper batteries are right below the sink and the controller is right above as with the invertor so they're all cozied up..
I'm sure they'll, installers, will find "Issues" and will be planning accordingly...
Thanks for the info, good to hear from you, 1800watts?? heheh Yikes... fun..
Will catch up soon I'm sure..
Thanks again for the info..
Frank you are doing fine. The first two years Fulltiming I did much worse, but learned from it and make it a point to help others learn from my mistakes and save some money.
Safe travels!!
