Ya I know I've been talking about this for several years now, but big plans take time... lol
I'm installing 200-350 watts of solar
components included: 200ah of deep cycle AGM batteries, 30A Renogy Charge Controller, inline fuses, low voltage cutoff from Victron, Fuse box to run all circuitry into, inverter, and electronic battery isolator so that they charge while driving also... max charge rate of AGM is about 10% of total ah/ hr.
I'll be able to keep up with running 12volt fans (I'm getting a 10speed MaxxAir roof fan), charge phones, laptops, additional fans and use a 120v appliances or tools for short durations. No fridge and cooking, washing dishes, showering etc... are all done outside on portable gas camping stoves, portable sink table which hooks up to a hose, or water bags. Of course the solar is overkill if you're in a camp site with 120v hookup, but the setup will get me through hot summer nights off the grid when desirable. (I'm finding I can source most of it used for under $500)
Van of choice is my daily driver, Ford e350 12 passenger... average economy is about 14mpg and fits a queen beed in the back plus 4 surfboards, and extra gear.
What's your setup?
