Yeah that IS an awesome Solar website. if I only had
the $$
Question: if I am running my engine for at least
1/2Hour once a day why would I need a solar panel?
Why run a Solar panel if most parks already have
electricity to plug into? Most parks charge westys the
same fee as an RV becouse they think we plan on using
their electricity/water, so why not just join up with
the RV-Polluters?
What about those mini 12V battery chargers? Could
mount one of those inside the van and just plug in any
outlet and re-charge.

arrive(Yellotop Optima)
