Hi Fellow Wander'ers
As I live in Las Vegas, my camping season is just about ready to begin. I spent a very productive long weekend with my brothers installing Solar and upgrading batteries in my camper. I was wondering what everyone else has done in this department? I am currently running the following
2- 6 volt 225 amp hour each batteries VMAXTANKS AGM (Total of 225 amp hours at 12v's)
2-120 watt flex panels on the roof. Mounted using exisiting screw holes in roof(240 watts total)
8-gauge wiring from panels to charge controller.
40 amp Tracer Solar Battery Charge Controller with remote Meter (A bit overkill but I will never out grow it)
2030 Trimetric Battery moniter system- Pretty much a battery gauge for how much power I'm using and how much is left.
Blue Sea Systems ML-ACR with Remote and Manual Control to have the truck charge the camper when driving and it charges and maintains the truck battery with the solar when I am parked at my house.
Progressive Dynamics Charge Controller 60 amp with manual remote
What solar or battery upgrades have you done to your campers and trucks? What would you have done differently?
A huge public thank you to DrJ for helping set up and design my system.
