A microwave is no problem, but you can't get enough solar on the roof of a 16 ft trailer for air conditioning. I've got 2730 watts of panels on a 31ft class C to be able to use the air conditioning.

The year is 2023, the tweakers have moved on. No longer do they prowl the streets in search of the next unsuspecting prius to steal catalytic converters. Today they follow TikTok users, awaiting their next free six foot long bar of copper. Every inch recovered even if it means digging it out...

Rather than recommending an amount of solar I suggest drawing up a schematic of your available roof space and going onto Santan Solar and finding which panel gets you the most wattage from your roof space. Shipping is expensive but the panels are cheap, I did 6 of their 455w panels on my class...

The idle consumption on that AIO is gonna eat about a fifth to a quarter of the energy your panels produce assuming they actually work well, which despite costing you 4500 dollars, they won't for long. Honestly this just isn't practical on a 23 ft TT. You don't have the real estate for solar air...

You'd be better off with a 12v or 24v battery, 3kw inverter charger, and a dc-dc charger IMO. That being said there's no reason what you proposed won't work, but you're locking yourself into a really convoluted setup with that 48v battery. I went 48v on my class C as well, but I didn't even...

Yep, I wish it had a heat function, if this AC ever dies on me I'll swap to a mini split with heat and add another set of panels. I'll see what it'll take to auto start, it's an Onan 4k so I'm certain it's possible as common as these generators are.

Yeah, aside from the air conditioner our electricity consumption will be modest, using a propane fridge/stove/water heater. I'll probably use a small electric heater in the winter to the extent solar allows but there is a propane furnace that will be used as necessary. It appears the...

Fair enough on the Victron, I think I'll skip the cerbo though(I'll research it more then decide). I was up on my roof and honestly even adding the 100 watt panels seems rather pointless as most of the open spots will have some amount of shade at any given time so unless I were to wire them up...

1: That's more or less what I thought on the 100 watt panels but I wasn't really sure if it was even ok to just attach another mppt of a different kind to these batteries at the same time. Easy enough, I'll just add a separate mppt for however many small panels I can squeeze up there. 2: I get...

So I'm a disabled army vet and plan on hitting the road. I bought a 31 foot Winnebago class C and I'm looking to set up solar sufficient to mostly run everything as I start traveling, especially as I have two large dogs that I want to be able to leave in air conditioning when I leave for the...
