If I order a new camper..thinking of the solar option. Not sure it would be benifitial to me, except for the winter. Does solar eliminate the need to bring the batteries in the house on a trickle ch...
Depends when and where you camp. We have 150 watts of solar on the roof. In summer it usually does the job. Winter camping is another story. The sun is lower, the hours of daylight are a lot less, and we are often in the forest in the drizzle of the Pacific Northwest. We get very little from the solar. Moreover the demands for power are much higher with the furnace and the lights running much more. We generally have to run the generator after one or two days ( two group 29 batteries).
