I've got a 1997 FWC on a 2000 F250 diesel pick up. I have 2 starter batteries in the truck and 1 deep cycle battery in the camper. All batteries are 12v wet cell batteries. The camper battery is connected to the truck batteries via 10feet of romex solid wire, connected to a battery isolator.
The truck and camper sit unused for months at a time, and are not parked close to a 110 outlet.
I purchased a 7w solar panel from home Depot. It doesn't have a charge controller.
Can I use the 7w panel, hooked up to one of the truck batteries without a charge controller, to keep all 3 batteries fully charged?
My other option is to use a 15w harbor freight solar panel and charge controller hooked to one truck battery with the same goal.
Will either of these work?
Thanks
