Post Our new van
Picked up the new van about 3 weeks ago, absolutely stoked with it.
It is 20' internal with ensuite, queen bed,2x 95L water tanks,3x110AH batteries,2x80W solar panels on roof, 1x120 fold up panel that can be plugged directly into the batteries (yes it does have a regulater fitted).
2 weekend trips so far and love it, heading off 1st mar for the big lap.

Post great location shot
The rig looks like it is very well set up.

Do you need any other source of energy other than the solar panels that you have.

We don't carry a generator so it will have to be enough.
in our old van we had one less battery and didn't have the portable panel and that covered all our needs,.

Gary nice set up.

Have you tested the output of your panels when all are in full sun ?

There was a thred started "charging a battery using solar panels" in Tech Talk page 2 where a discussion was had about the extra reg on the portable panel, eg; will it reduce the output of one of the panels because of the high output of the other ???
