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.

Water tanks and traveling?
(Preview)
When traveling, should water tanks be empty or full? (I'm guessing half full is a no no!) If empty, that makes free camping more difficult. Thanks, Collo.
