I see these projects and installs on RV’s of hundreds of wattages. In this case 400! And I ask ...why so much?
I’ve been watering cattle with a solar system for 17 years. Watering as much as 350 head (2000 to 3000 gals a day) with four batteries and two 64 watt panels.
Do RVer’s tend to overbuild?
I guess it depends upon how many days you boondock, and how “little” you want to run a generator! We often spend 3 + weeks in fall/winter in our 5th wheel using the generator sparingly! When we’re away from camp for extended periods.....the panels are busy keeping the batteries charged so the heater can continue keeping the camper warm. A forced air heater pulls pretty hard on batteries! Running water, warm showers, etc. are nice to come home to when the temps are in single digits to teens! memtb
