[VAC] Re: Don't mount solar on roof.
Let us also remember that, while traveling we are getting
the double power intake of the puller's generator plus the solar panels
which are constantly moving relative to sun angle.
While stuck in Tijuana at a mechanics my pullers single 12 volt marine
battery lasted 5 days of service while parked. I balanced my power
load between LP Gas, candles for ambient light and DC battery only for TV
and water pump.
I believe that the key to energy independence is a diversified power
load. Forget the all electric coach.
