Best batteries for a 21 foot trailer and/or solar panels?

[Corinne]

Greetings everyone.&nbsp; <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">&nbsp; I will be getting a 21 foot travel trailer fairly soon, new, and will be living in it full time and traveling within Arizona.&nbsp; I want to see the Coconino National Forest, Sedona, and the Kaibab National Forest by the Grand Canyon.&nbsp; I am finding out about parking in Quartsite AZ as well on the LTVA's.<br><br>&nbsp;The new Trailer already comes with two deep cycle batteries that will be bolted down.&nbsp; I've discovered that Camping world is a full service RV/Trailer place for pretty much everything.&nbsp; Any advice on longer lasting batteries, or solar panels that I can have installed on this 21 foot little cottage on wheels!&nbsp; LOL&nbsp; <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">&nbsp; I'd only be running my laptop, a few hours of satellite Directv and my propane stove and microwave.&nbsp; Any tips would be greatly appreciated.&nbsp; "Thanks so much."&nbsp; <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">&nbsp; I plan on traveling with the weather and not parking in 120 degree temps.<br>

The best advice I can give you, is read about it. And when you're finished, read some more.
It's not only about batteries and panels. Most is very dependent on your specific needs. Be aware that a lot of installers don't know what they are talking about. Only you (should) know, what you need.
