Good day folks,
Working through the initial plan for a Camping trailer battery solar build. Thinking of a 24v 2.5-4.0 Kw build. My goals are for weekend power when camping over weekends or long weekends. Currently I'm looking at 2 Plans
Working through the initial plan for a Camping trailer battery solar build. Thinking of a 24v 2.5-4.0 Kw build. My goals are for weekend power when camping over weekends or long weekends. Currently I'm looking at 2 Plans
- Plan A - Power LED Lights, Propane heater Fan, Hairdryer (1800 watt), Water pot for coffee. This would be for a 2-4 day period during spring or fall so the heater will not need to run a lot.
- Plan B - Includes everything from plan A in addition to a 13.5 Air Conditioner. The A/C would be only for night during warmer nights. Again, this would be spring and fall so the Air Would run very intermittently during the night hours
- Solar Panels – I have not started to look at this part yet.
- Buying and Connecting all the components vs the 24v all-in-one units like PIP LV2424 MSD 24V 2.4Kw or the Growatt 24V 3kW All-in-one
- Build a 24v 200 ah battery or buy one like the 24V 200AH LiFePower4 Battery by EG4
- How significant is the idle battery drain with the all-in-one units vs a build your own system? I only ask because this is specifically called out as a negative of the all-in-ones.
- On a camping trailer how are the 12v brakes handled? They need a battery not the car harness to work. I think there is a separate small battery that can be added.
- If I’d turn off the inverter can the camper 12 volt devices still operate?
- Quality wise I’m looking to get in this but I’m leaning toward the lower rather than higher priced products. I realize quality and longevity could suffer with this approach.
