Hey all, I'm thinking about putting solar on my rv. I have a 38' fifthwheel that I live full time in. I spend summers in Minnesota and head south in the winter (snowbird). What would be ideal in my mind is a system that allows me to not be plugged in all the time. My trailer has 50A power, but I have done just fine while on 30A. So, I have done some looking and reading and would like someone to double check my thinking. Where I am at now (Texas Gulf Coast) we are all on meters. My usage in November was 510kW. Dividing that by 31 gives me an average of about 16.5kW per day. Am I correct in thinking that translates to 137Ah per day?
What I am thinking is putting 800w of panels on the roof, making two 400w arrays to two controllers for charging and 400Ah of LiFepo battery storage along with something like a 4000w inverter to run things. Can someone please check my numbers and tell me where I am not correct?
