solar panel

There are several other things to think about before you decide.  You said you like to boondock, then solar can be very effective. We have been out as long as 2 continuos weeks using only solar. However, that type of camping also requires some additional changes. We don’t use the hot water heater, we heat water on the stove. We use solar lamps and use the led built in lamps as little as possible. We are very stingy with overall power usage. We also have  two six volt golf cart bateries that will hold more charge over a longer period of time when it is cloudy. We can usually totally recharge our batteries in about 4hours of good sun. The key is to know that these types of batteries can be discharged to a lower level (we try not to go below 65%) than “standard”rv type batteries.
