    Looking to get some solar for my rv

    Ok ordering a frige today. We are really looking at running this on solar. Don't want to run it on propane of we can. Now how much solar will I need to run the norcold 4.5 refrigerator. Will I still need 400-500 watts and 6 batteries. Or could 300w and 4 batteries handle it. Basicly did some...

    Looking to get some solar for my rv

    So it seems like the general concises is to run a better fride and less solar. So If I went with say 200watts and only 4 battery's and got a 12v or propane fridge I would be better off. Not a fan of the coller type fridges. Gf has a bad back so trying to avoid her bending down for everything...

    Looking to get some solar for my rv

    Unfortantly 12v refridgerator is out. Can't justify $1200 on a fridge at this time maybe in the future. Unless someone can provide a nice sized one that isn't that much. We've spent more than we expect on the rebuild so far. Ordered our stove/oven and about to get solar. Lights will be 12v. Plan...

    I've kinda given up on the hopes of cooking with solar. Just need it to run the refridgerator I posted and some lights and phones and small stuff. How big of an inventor is needed.

    Looking to get some solar for my rv

    So it's almost time to order everything. Rv is fully gutted and currently being rebuilt. I believe I should have plenty of space for panels and may also look at getting a portable 100 or so watt panel. Trying for 400ish watts now and will add in the future if need be. I like the idea of the...

    By rv I mean a van that has an rv section on the back. It's 18.5' long. Nothing special. But we are living in it and a tent right now. We will be in the rv full time for the foresee able future when it's done. Like I said we could be spending $1000 a month on rent but instead were spending it in...

    Looking to get some solar for my rv

    Well we are for sure living in it for a couple months possibly much longer. We look at the money we will be putting into the rv as rent. Instead of paying someone else mortgage we are gonna fix up the rv. And we should be able to get most of our investment back when we sell it.
