i've bought a motor-home, an Iveco Daily, i want to put solar panels on the roof & perhaps get a portable panel too, so i can more accurately position it. i intend on mostly free camping.
is there a site or book or some form of beginner's guide to what i should be looking at , or a recommended supplier ( i live in southern sydney ) who could suggest what i need & do the installation. i'm not very electrically savvy..
EXcluding Microwave,Kettle Air-Cond etc. Use Mains plug or Generator for them.
Built in Genny's in Motorhomes
can be properly silenced with very low exhaust levels.
Have 2 minimum battery's and install enough panels to ensure that your
battery levels don't drop below 12.5v by sunrise with average usage.
A mobile panel. Realistically. is a waste of time,
unless you chasing every single milliamp.
They are very bulky\heavy, for what they will give.
Try lifting\carrying, a 100w panel. Then finding storage for.
Inside.
These two replies say all you need to know. I have two books by Collyn Rivers now. Cheap way to start before you spend money, and whenyou do go to any retail supplier they will try to oversell their expensive stuff and you may spend more than you need to just do the job you want !!
thank you for the welcome. i must say i'm impressed with the responses to my 2 questions....heaps of very helpful info. i'm going to like this site i see.
