anyone have data on how well panels perform in South Cali when on a roof of motorhome what sort of performance should I expect from 1200w of panels on a curved RV roof during November?

makes absolutely no sense to use smaller panels for crosswind protection especially since I don't drive when crosswinds are real crappy at 65mph constant driving panels should be mounted real good no matter which orientation 8 foot wide trailer ... no obstructions on the rood after the...

your fridge draw figures are quite large .... the published figures are for maximum power draw when hot when fridge cools off you'll see it is only using about 5 amps (@12v) measured mine via the battery bluetooth BMS and it only runs about 50% of the time as long as you don't open the...

Facebook ... look for local mom and pop installers. found a few in my area selling new and used they often have leftovers OR they can add a few panels for you onto their next order to the warehouse

I just bought from amazon yesterday 2 x Elfhub 100ah with bluetooth $189.00 free delivery I should get them 5th Feb almost bought some 304ah cells + BMS from Docan but Docan price was only 520 If the Eldhub goes bad can always open them and possibly fix? May just open them...

I'm fixated in kicking myself...... for waiting to buy. now they are sold out!

first thing people need to know to help you is............. what RV type you got. and it's age if it is pre-2020 then the installed chargers will not totally support Lithium Motorhomes may need more modifications than a travel trailer adding solar will help ... but may NOT be the...
