    Question Downside of using large 400+w solar panels

    There are folks that have installed high quality commercial grade solar panels on RVs. What is the downside of using these panels vs ones designed for mobile applications? Other than size, not sure how they survive vibration and stresses of roof mounting on a RV?

    Adding Solar

    I have been thinking about adding a small amount of solar to our Dutch Star. On our recent trip, we met up with friends who also were traveling in their Dutch Star. They had experienced a minor problem that required the coach to be left for repair for a couple of days. They were not able to...

    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...

    Change from Magnum to Victron for electrical components

    Has anyone done the conversion from Magnum to Victron. Am considering this since the Magnum is just trash and does not work nicely with my solar and Lifepo4 batteries.

    Solar anyone?

    And I don't mean adding a couple of panels to the roof, I mean full-on-solar! This Solar-Powered RV Runs Without Fuel Or Charging Stations

    your inverter pulls 12vdc from your batteries and feeds the fridge with 120 vac. You have a balancing act between fridge (and other) loads - battery capacity - solar input - and generator use.

    Question 6 volt Batteries in Class A

    Solar setting on battery amp hours. When batteries are hooked in parallel do you set the amp hours on solar setting to a single battery amp hour or to equal the total of both amp hours together?

    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 Solar Panels

    Does anyone have any insight into the effectiveness of the solar panel on the roof of a 2020 Newmar Baystar 3616. It came standard with a panel on the roof, anyone know what it does and how effective it is. Will it keep the refrigerator running? I keep trying to plug the unit into 110 just to...

    CA strikes again with CARB ACT

    Grid failures, to include natural gas infrastructure, largely occurred because generating facilities were not hardened for catastrophic cold weather events. Many were undergoing seasonal maintenance shutdowns. It had zero to do with wind and solar, .
