We have a 9k btu in our 27' class C. It's adequate although there are times when I wonder if maybe the 12k would have performed better. I was more concerned about short cycling and not being able to adequately remove humidity, so I didn't want to oversize. If you run the calculation using...

I was actually just looking at those Gree units - I think theyre selling them rebadged under a few different names. Looks like theyre 8.5 EER, so not nearly as good as a better minisplit, but dramatically better than a standard rooftop air. We tend to follow the seasons a good bit, so maybe that...

I think that a full on bus chassis unit is going to be out of budget, but the focus is on the semi-monocoque rigs that are just a notch lower. 2003-2008 Monaco/HR/Beaver, Country Coach, Foretravel... We have an all fiberglass rig currently and I'm not going back to the rubber roof hellscape.

Howdy All - Last year I built out a pretty capable setup in our Class C, pretty much exclusively through what I learned in these forums: 2420Watts of panels Multiplus 12|3000|120 Smart Solar 150|100 & Smart Solar 100|50, Orion 12|12-30 DC/DC (2) 12v 300AH Power Queen Cooper & Hunter 9kBTU...

Now that I'm thinking about it, using these hinges on both sides might be a great idea - Drill out the pins and replace with hitch pins. Then the panels could tilt to either side depending on what direction I have my RV parked.

So its winter and my flat panels just arent cutting it. I have everything mounted to unistrut that run the length of the camper with panel clamps. All of the prefab "tilt kits" I see are for small panels and not panels that are 89" wide. Do any of you have tilt setups for residential panels? How...

I'll check that out! Its about 3.25" from the roof to the bottom of the panels between the 2 rails, but more as it gets closer to the edge.

For those of you that have done large “up and over” installs - have you used a fairing at the front? Any suggestions or issues? I still need to trim down the strut and make connections, but my mount is pretty much finished up.

My freight shipment from SanTan was just left in my driveway without requiring a signature or even ringing my doorbell. I don't know how I didnt hear the truck, but they were just magically there.

Thanks all! I will indeed have an appropriate breaker. I'm psyched to get them installed.

So I just picked up 4 SolarEver 455 watt panels from Santan for my RV. I'm planning to run them to a Victron SmartSolar 150/100 MPPT. This will be in addition to the 3 200watt panels I have connected to a Victron 100/50. Batteries are (2) Powerqueen 300AH chin's clones in a 12V system with a...

Looks like Santan had some I missed the first time. Ordered!

I currently have 3 200watt panels on my RV and I would like to add ~1600watts more. I can fit 4 more panels with a max size of 42"x82" a pop. I live in Rhode Island. Any recommendations for decent resellers? I had been looking at the JAM72S10-410/MR from Solaris-shop.com but I have seen a lot...

So at the moment everything is working OK with both the disconnect wire and jumper in place. I'm inclined not to mess with it. The more I think about it, the more I think it's likely switching between AC and Electric water heater. I'll have to investigate further as to where that might be...

Yes, that is correct.
