Hi All,

This may be be the ultimate boondocking units?

Too late.

I think a lot of the people commenting in this thread were out in the sun way too long.

Same kind of “slash and burn” at any new construction site (houses, rv parks, offices, power step down stations, NPS buildings, etc).

Just look at the slash and burn to place that transformer 😉

Ok I lied. I’ll continue participating in this discussion.
I don’t have a closed mind, although in your opinion I may, so maybe you can enlighten me how a DCDc charger would work in that scenario and how it would provide a net benefit.

Should be on a forum that deals with spurious climate claimology and the ditching of real science (a state sanctioned retreat to medieval scientism)…JMO,

Adding a DCDC charger to your system would also be helpful in creating additional charging capacity while driving down the road to supplement what is being produced by your solar panels!

It's not "my system".

I don't think the "wings" could be deployed while driving down the road, so probably only 1/3 of the solar array could be used while driving and would actually reduce the daily output if driving mid day.

Why would you need a different charging system while driving vs sitting. Only thing you would want to be careful of it to makes sure the wings are disconnected when covered, so they don't backfeed while shaded under the central panels.

Those two vans with the outstretched panels remind me of a caption that fits this topic "When pigs fly".

With at least a 320 mile range on one tank of gas I am enjoying my go anywhere at anytime gasser truck for convenient no worry and hassle free travel. No heavy bulky solar panels or scarce out of the way charging stations with long wait time for me. Cheers

Be my guest. Pay at least 3 times as much money to go the same distance, and that is for fuel only.

My solar was $5 per watt in 2005 and has paid for itself several times over. Not one bit of maintenance has been done.

I could replace it for $2 per watt--but what I have meets my needs as a part time rv'er. Besides I still get the OEM output.
