Today I de-winterized the camper. Over the weekend I installed a second solar panel. It's a Kyocera 140w added to the previous Kyocera 135w giving me a total of 275w (on paper at least). The single 135w panel wasn't quite enough to keep the DC compressor refrigerator running. I installed the panel Saturday and the fridge has been on since while the batteries still show a full charge.
The plate in front of the panel is where the Winegard crank up antenna had been. Reception wasn't that great and I needed the space for the solar so I removed it. I put in a bulkhead F-connector and I plan to use that connection for a Dish Tailgater.
