We have a 36FBST 1 1/2 bath. Dual air obviously. Not living fulltime just travel dry camping. How many panels? System suggestions? Pros and cons?
Thanks in advance!

You need to answer a few questions before you move on.

- How long do you dry-camp? Week end?, Week? Longer?
- Do you use or plan on using an inverter? To watch TV? Microwave? Charge your electronics? ...
- Are you going to mount them on the roof? Portable?
- Do you camp in SHADED areas only?

There is a lot of good reading in our "RVing with SOLAR" Social Group... the link is below.

Air is out of the picture ($$$$$)... but a lot of 12VDC fans are not. IF you camp in the southwest (DRY) regions, a "SWAMP" cooler could be done on SOLAR.

So, no a/c at night and when do the batteries get a chance to charge back up again? Looks like it would work for the occasional hot day when you just don't want to be out in the sun.

Thanks for the info! Do able but not feasible! 300 aH lithium battery is $3000!!!! I would probably need 3. My RV is already plumbed for a generator. Way cheaper for me!!
