Hi guys, my old Sunsei solar panels 1500's have finially started to die after all these years. I've read all the posts on Solar panels, but being dumb, on these things, I have a question(s) to ask. One, my present setup and comproller carries 49 amps(I think that what it says) and i use it for a back up to power my tv so I can watch my 49's or giants. I have a new blue top camper bat and a Granby fwc, and no second battery back-up for the FWC, just my truck battery. I don't use it for much else, right now I run in the green for 3-4 days before I need to charge the batteries up (when it's goes to yellow), again, I don't use much power, except when I run the tv, so----here is my question, I want to buy a new (maybe 2 panels) panel and a new comproller and there are so many good deals out there, so I just want to take my old set up off, fill in the holes and put on the new panels, I don't know how to put in a new extra battery, so I just need to replace what i have now, :) I winter camp allot and it is sure nice to have my solar back up to keep things running (into at least the yellow-during those storms), when I have to use the heater allot, so what should I get? :wacko: Sorry I'm just need some ideas- nice and simple what to buy ($100-300 or more each ???) Any help would be wecomed!  I've got a 3way frig a heater and hot water heater and an F150 4x4 truck!

Thanks,

Smoke

Smoke, I've moved this over to the truck camper section so maybe you can get some help with this.
