Re: Mounting residential panels
"residential panel" doesen't realy tell anything, a few years ag they were mounting 200 watt panels on houses then 300, then 400, now it seams to be 600 and up. I jsut mounted 200 watt panels (24V ) with 6 z brackets each, I mounted a 325 watt with 4 z brackets. I was going to go with 400 watt panels but they wouldnt fit so I went with the 200 watt. which size and type of panel are you thinking about3Views0likes0CommentsRe: New Fridge, Old Coach
Yes. It has 120v at the outlet. I not only tested it with a Fluke mulitmeter, but plugged in a fan which ran fine. how far apart are the breaker and the outlet for the fridge 120V? I know my next step would be to use your multimeter on Ohm setting and see what the resistance on each leg is. that would rule out wiring issues that maybe would run a fan but not somthing that draws more power. one thing is kinda confusing, maybe you could clear this up. when your trying to run it on 120V are you plugged into shore power or running from your batteries on an inverter?14Views0likes0CommentsRe: Solar needed?
yup when I convert the fith wheel I am going to save about 220 to 240lbs off the hitch weight alone, then some more as the LiFePO4 batteries will be located farther back closer to the axels so that will remove a bit more. in my old camper I went from having two 70lb 6V in the very back (2 feet behind the rear bumper of the truck) to one 46lb LiFePO4 over the rear axel. ya if you want to leave stuff running then go with the 200 watt.15Views1like2Comments
