One important thing to do is to remember to adjust the positioning of the panel. I do it at night before we go to bed to catch the early morning sun before we get up. I also do it  before we leave camp in the morning. I do it again when we return from the days activities. I use a simple compass to find true west and then position the unit accordinglly. I will adjust it several times during the day when we are in camp. The charge controller is very accurate in telling you what the input levels are, so pay attention to that at first until you get a feel for it. I also made 2wooden blocks out of 6x6 to prop up the panel for a higher angle than the stock frame arms allow. There are lots of tables available online that will tell you the optimum angle and direction(degrees between southwest and west) depending on your location. 

We have bbeen out as long as 13 days keeping our 2 six volt batteries fully charged usinqg the panel.

Cleaning them occasionally will help their efficiency.

Enjoy the solar freedom!

TT,

We checked out Frisco, Cape Point and Oregon Inlet on our last trip down to Cape Hatteras.

 We really liked Frisco and Cape Point. Going to try two to three weeks at each this coming October. We stayed at Oregon inlet a couple of nights this past fall.

We have a couple of camping spots lined up on state land here in VT to try things out and practice over the summer.

Just received our renogy 100 w solar panel and hook up kit. Cant wait to get some sun so we can hook it up and give it a try.

We ae planning on doing a lot more dry camping this year!
