Had some nice days this week so I worked on getting the Mini Split installed in the Motor Home. It was in the mid 70's today so I started the mini split up. It pulls 3.6 amps at 121 volts in cooling mode This is a C&H unit and has a setting called Dry which cools enough to remove humidity...

No question , Just trying to add a bit of useful information to the board. I see a lot of questions posted like this one. https://diysolarforum.com/threads/mini-split-a-c-power-consumption.36712/ that was the only reason for my post. I went about the project backwards instead of calculating my...

HI everyone, Joined to get some info on putting Solar on an old Winnebago .

I should add, I purchased a Used ECO-WORTHY 1200 WATT 24 VOLT KIT, That was purchased from Amazon, 1 panel is missing ( It blew off of the original owners roof ) so it is 800 watts plus 190 . The original instal was not very professional in my opinion. I guess everyones good enough is...

Thanks K8MEJ for sharing your experience with solar and a Mini split. I'm putting a 9,000 Btu unit in so I suspect my experience will be similar. Cooling is the main thing for us we don't do a lot of cold weather camping, we tried it this year and the lp use was unbelievable. Besides the onboard...

Thanks for doing the math part for me, The solar system has been running for 2 days now and keeping the batteries charged even though the weather is not ideal for solar generation, We only use the mini split when we are in the camper (getting it ready to use for the season) so our power...

Thanks sunshine for the well thought out reply. When the weather gets a bit warmer I'll install the mini split and then I will have a good idea of how much power it uses. I guess the biggest question I have is if having the Solar as a Stand alone system going to affect the existing 3 power...

OK Here we go, First post for me. I have an older ( 1996 Motorhome ) that we use a lot but don't really go camping. We are retired and to get away from hot summer heat we go north in the summer and south in the winter where it is warmer or a couple of months each. We enjoy going to Festivals...

Doesn't seem to be much data on Mini splits on campers and it is very difficult to calculate anything because of the nature of these units. Current use varies due to variable speed drives ambient temp etc. So here are the measurements I made today I have 2 100Ah 12V AGM Deep Cycle Batterys...
