Re: [A/S] Boondocking - How Many Watt Inverter Will I Need
After two long weekends (4 days, 3 nights each), anchored out. I find
that a 75 watt solar panel has no problem keeping 2 batteries right up
to float level. We (me and spouse) didn't skimp on lighting, music or
water pump usage. Plus the furnace ran on a few chilly mornings. Hot
water and reefer (working fb, thanks) run off gas. No serious
electrical drainage there. I never saw less than 12.4 volts coming out
of the battery bank. At noonish we slammed 4.5 amps back into the
batteries.
I feel the best buck spent on "stuff" for the Sov went for the solar
system.
Boy, is this fun!
Cheers
