Our solar and battery...
(Preview)
When we bought our van we relied on the salesman to recommend size of solar panel. I now know we have a 100 A/H deep cycle battery and a 120 watt panel with a "regulator" of some sort. Wondering how that compares to what you the forum members are using? Aussie Paul.
