So I just got a 2005 Viking epic tent trailer. It?s a little eight footer. It came with a ?condition unknown? 12v battery. I?m playing with the idea of getting a solar panel to top it up during the day, so it got lots of juice at night.
The trailer has an inverted, LED interior lights, 3 way fridge, and furnace.
Our camping style is to abandon the site during the day for adventures abroad, then return for supper, a camp fire then bed. Our only use of the electrical system would be the LED lights at night (for maybe an hour or so if we get chit chatting), and the 120v inverted outlets for charging cell phones, or maybe inflating a mattress or something.
Would this be a good application for solar? Where does one go to find the best deal on solar panels? Are they worth the hassle?
Here?s one on sale locally. Thoughts on it?
