    Battery solar charger

    I'm wondering if there is a true solar charger for an rv battery that charges by the sun and doesn't have to be plugged into the pickup cigarette portal.

    LightShip 4 Now Starting Customer Evaluation

    No contest, I agree. My remarks are in the context of gathering enough solar energy in a short period of time to plus up battery depletion on the way to go camping. Once camped, in the Summer, I would guess you could plan on at least 10 kW day, if it was clear and you were not parked under a...

    LightShip 4 Now Starting Customer Evaluation

    ...We'd contest that in the sun you'd get some kWh of energy that meaningfully supports camping (aside from trekdrive and high HVAC use). However, we're hard at work finalizing the firmware that charges the HV battery charging off solar... then we'll want you to test it and prove us right or...

    Oasis pump replacement

    Hi Gary. I'm in the process of changing the summer loop pump with a US Solar pump as well. How did you handle the reduction from the Oasis 3/4" (5/8?) hose down to the US Solar 1/2 hose?

    Question Portable Solar Generator - Bluetti

    I have a Keystone Fusion Toy Hauler, and want to install solar. A Bluetti AC300 with two batteries and solar panels providing 24kwh when fully charged is about half the cost of a hard solar system install. Does anyone have any experience with the Bluetti and will it provide for my needs the...

    Question Newb with a generator question

    I quit trying to fix onan when a thin plastic cage in the starter Bendix was priced at 70 usd. I started hauling around a quiet 2000w portable generator. Now am using solar. On the other hand have you checked the oil level?

    Solar eclipse???

    I can't help myself! So I ask you, do you plan on viewing the eclipse? Seems like only a few years ago that my stomping grounds in Wyoming was inundated by sun gazing tourists, and would have been me had reservations not been impossible due to my tardiness. So this one is even more...

    Solar Update

    So here is my story and I'm sticking to it. This year has been interesting on the solar front for me. The amount of solar I have installed has gone up and down through the years. I started with one 230 watt panel many years ago. Then it went to 1150 a few years later. I kept that for about 5...

    12 volt refrigerator

    How well do the 12v refrigerators work when boon-docking?? How much solar wattage is required or at least ok for boondocking with a 12v fridge. I am looking at an Alliance Valor with a 12v only fridge and am concerned about having enough battery power to continuously run the fridge. This...

    Solar, internet and cabinets

    Assuming a rig is prepped for solar, is it cheaper/better to buy a rig with a solar package installed already, or to buy one without it (which seems to be cheaper normally) and buy an aftermarket/manufacturer package and install afterwards? If the latter, what are some good solar systems/brands...

    Getting paid for solar

    I'm in Casa Grande until April and last year electricity was a bit expensive. I didn't use solar as there was discussion back then about electricity being cheap, not the case here. This year I'm using my tools via Magnum ME-BMK and Victron stack to use solar from 9 AM until 4:30 PM. This allows...

    Solar Panel Manufacturer?

    My advice is to consult a professional for verifying what you have and what the solar charger can handle and whatnot. I do not believe you will be getting 2000w of input because it does not go directly to the inverter.

    Solar ready Freelander (Expedition Package)

    My RV came with the so called Expedition Package from the factory. There are connectors on the side and on the roof. My issue surrounds finding the "other" end of the wire. Where in the heck do they terminate so I can use them. Not in the battery box, not behind the refrigerator where...

    Question Typical Solar setup

    Yes, solar still works as it's a charger. It knows float, bulk etc. at least with the Victron I have. In my case the BMS manages all of the charging sources. You configure your solar charger just like you configure your inverter.

    Solar Panel Operation Question

    ...stolen from different storage facilities around Houston, we recently downgraded to a smaller Coachman Spirit 2963BH. This one came with a 100W solar panel preinstalled on the roof, and we attached the loose cables near the battery to the +\- poles as labelled. What is required for the...
