Mike, consider adding fixed vs. portable vs. both to the solar panel section, and adding other/parasitic draws, e.g. inverter, propane detector, power bricks, etc., to the power budget discussion.

Yes I would like to see accurate info on solar and rv's. Been using diy solar for about 6 years with lead acid batteries. By guess and by gosh design.

While I've had solar panels on our trailers for over 25 years, I would LOVE to hear an expert's take on the "what and how" nitty gritty of it all. I never used any math to design my arrays. I just installed the most of everything I could afford - and it's worked,

Will you be teaching this class at Frog Rally in Elkhart in August? I am attending, registered. I am having ABC Outfitters redo my mini lite 2205S with their power package and will be there all week. Would love to attend all your education classes while there. As you know I have a lot of questions!!!

This looks like a great series. I’m interested in mixing portable and fixed panels. What happens when there are two charge controllers charging the batteries?
