This is for you guys that asked me to report back on the Windynation solar kit. This is the kit I purchased:
Solar kitI just received the kit today which was pretty fast shipping considering the main UPS route between here and CA was washed out in the flooding around Mesquite NV.
I will post some pic in the next few days as I install the components on the trailer but my first impressions of the kit are good. For some reason I thought the wire in the kit would be more flexible then it is so I think I'm going to purchase a 10 ga extension cord tomorrow to use between the solar panels and controller since I will be using the panels in a portable set up until I have more time to do a roof install. I will save the wire from the kit for the roof.
Besides the kit I also purchase this
fuse holder to use between the controller and battery as well as an inline ATC fuse holder for the positive solar panel to controller line. For the cabling between controller and battery I'm using a set of 4 ga battery jumper cables I had and battery cable lugs purchased from Windynation.
I will be getting the trailer from storage Thursday after work and starting the install weather permitting although it has to be done by first thing Sunday morning as this is when we pull out.
2015 Eclipse Iconic Toy Hauler made by Eclipse Manufacturing which is a pile of junk. If you want to know more just ask and I'll tell you about cracked frames, loose tin, walls falling off, bad holding tanks and very poor customer service.
