First real trip out with solar panel

Isn't it nice to have something that actually works, makes no noise, and is basically hands-off after installation? Judging by the state of health of my batteries, solar will take care of charging batteries better than I could, manually.

I'd suggest to make one of your first accessory purchases, a hand held meter. They are inexpensive, will help with any electrical diagnostics, and save a lot of time and worry.
