New-to-me truck and camper
I thought it would be a good idea to join this forum, as I just bought a truck and camper. I will be full-timing for at least a year, possibly longer. I would love your thoughts, tips, tricks, hints...

....I believe the camper has 250 amps of AGM batteries, although I'm not sure of the condition yet. It has 150 watts of solar on top. Should I first wait and see if that meets my needs, or do you think I will definitely want to go ahead and double to 300 watts?
I would recommend getting a second panel. I added a second panel but my wife uses a CPAP and we did a lot of photography and editing of pictures. Computers use quite a bit of juice. Regardless, if you camp in the shade, solar is about useless. If camp in the shade and run the furnace, you will need to run a generator regardless of the number of panels. Also take a look at the solar controller and upgrade it if is not a quality 3 stage charger.
