I would like to add solar versus buying a Honda or Yamaha Generator. I would have to buy 2 Honda EU2000I's to run the A/C and would rather spend that amount of money on buying an initial solar set-up.
Does anyone have any experience or recommendation in setting up a solar system for this size trailer? If so, do you have any recommendations for a budget of $3,000.00 or less?
I would appreciate all answers or replies since I am not a high tech type of person. Thank you in advance for any comments or replies.
First steps in adding a solar system are determining your actual power needs (you won't have AC, microwave, and possibly television), determine location and length of possible boodocking, and increasing power storage capability (batteries). Changing your light bulbs to LED will save considerable power.
In boodocking situation, your best bet for cooling, is open windows and maybe, a 12 volt fan.
