I didn't think you were Loren. With the cost of solar dropping so much like it has someone mounting a panel on the main part of the roof can easily afford a larger panel than before. I wouldn't buy anything smaller than an 80 watt for that reason. For just another $40-60 you can bump that up to 100-120 watt so if you have room on the roof why wouldn't you do it? That is for people with electric only fridges though. Otherwise you don't need so much so why make the top heavier to pop? The alternator charging topic is a bit nuanced and complicated so I will leave it alone at this time since I am supposed to be outside working on some van projects.
