Lance 1181 solar install?
Checking to see if anyone has added solar to a Lance 1181. If so, please give me some specifics......will probably post this over on the Lance forum too.

On my 5'er I have 6 12-volt panels set up in 3 24-volt pairs, so I get the best of both worlds. If you had room for 4 panels on the TC, 2 24's would be the way to go. On my TC I have 2 12-v panels in series, and my seat-of-the-pants feeling is that I get better charging than when I had them in parallel.
Thanks for the feedback....I had also thought of that, but I doubt that I have room for 4 panels. I haven't done serious layout measurements yet, but the series/parallel combo would be a good alternative.....and no more current from the panels than just having 2 panels.
There is also some good deals on 250W 24 volt panels that might give similar results.
