Hey Everyone,
Has anyone attempted to use the WaterLily Turbine as a supplemental power source for charging their camper battery? Doesn't look like it will provide a ton of wattage, but the ability to provide an additional charge overnight could be a nice addition? There's also the ability to use it in wind turbine mode... Looks like they provide alligator clips or SAE plugs in the bundle so you could easily plug into the external ports on a FWC assuming you had a battery monitor...
Some of the drawbacks that I could foresee:

Some of the drawbacks that I could foresee:
- Voltage/wattage drop from long cable from turbine to camper. Would have to park fairly close to the water's edge. Although in wind turbine mode, you wouldn't need as long of a cable.
- Would require windy conditions or streams with a good flow rate
- Low wattage output might not be worth the effort/expense
