I'm looking to put a fleet on my ranger and have a couple questions for those who have already been there and done that.
When it comes to the solar, if all I do is get the charge controller only w/ display, do whatever panels I get then just plug into the system ? Say I got some mobile panels to lay out as needed, would they just plug in and I'm good to go ?
Also, battery options. I would want a stove, maybe a fridge. Beyond that I would want to keep charged personal electronics like cell phone and laptop. Would I be best served upgrading the single battery or would that get me by ?
And I understand that the truck battery and the 4wc battery are separate entities, but my truck alternator will also charge the 4wc battery. Is my stock alternator good to go for that ? are beefier alternators available that would be more beneficial for that task ?
This will just be me right now, and I plan to live full time in it for as long as I am comfortable doing so. Do not want to get surprised with a malfunction, especially power, when so much time will be far down dirt and likelihood of seeing others will likely be few and far between.
Any other advice from those who have been there ?
Thanks so much for any input you can share, greatly appreciated !
