I was running the 2 way fridge, lighting, heater and water pump. Fridge was the only thing running full time and I was frugal with the usage of the other loads. Woke up on 4th day at 50% and was at 32% by the end of the trip. 4 days of rain/overcast.


Thanks. Your system sounds perfect for your energy needs and this helps me as I keep inching towards my next upgrade.

We just left the ski3pins after getting chased out of Death Valley due to sandstorms. Anyway both of our rigs' electrical systems seem to not even need solar. Ours hasn't been below 70% even after two nights, and those were cloudy days. On sunny days the battery is near 100% all the time. We tend to move every two nights (occasionally three).

We do stay put for days at a time and we love the solar charging. Always remember your power usage needs is the major part of the equation. Our power usage is small and solar usually tops off the battery by late morning even in winter.
