I came across this wind / solar kit on ebay that looks mighty interesting. Ebay # 160629572509
It should be enough to keep my 2 batteries charged, but I recognize it won't be able to juice any AC stuff. Still, I can get by on 12v and propane for the most part.
My question is about mounting the turbine... I have a Jayco Designer 5w 34 foot. I'm leary of mounting the wind turbine on the roof.
Any ideas? Maybe a standalone pole mount?
Here is the details on the wind turbine.
The units are very small, about 14" long from the tip of the prop to the end of the tailfin.
They come with a blocking diode installed so as not to discharge your battery when the wind isn't turning the turbine.
The main beam (frame) is made of 3/4" steel square tubing and painted black. Plastic plugs are used to cap the ends of the
tubing to give a nice, finished appearance.
The downtube (the part that slips into your mounting pole, etc.) is 1" steel and is welded to the main beam.
A two blade 15" prop comes with each unit. It is made of durable plastic and the actual prop color may vary.
