We have the 90 watt factory fitted panel, seems to punch out 5 amps. Just wondering if anybody knew the brand so i could keep an eye out for another panel to match up

I was under the impression it was a 120w solar panel not 90w???

Well it was 90watt on the quote, but maybe your right. I think Bushman said his was 120watt. Even so all the BP panels list 50mm frame and I am sure mine are not 50mm. I have just decided to add another panel and want to sort it out.

Jayco do both the 90W and the 120W panels but not sure who makes them, all I know they come from Coast to coast

60 watt $295
90 watt $369
120 watt $490

so I reckon I will go with a eBay panel as for $360 i can get close to a 200 watt panel. I might even leave it for now and look at revising the mount on the roof. would love to come up with a system of being able to remove the panels. Originally was going to use unitrack but the roofs are curved so may have to come up with a track with feet.

I've got the 120W panel mounted on the roof and have an anderson plug on the A frame connected straight to the batteries. I'm thinking of purchasing a fold up panel (120W) with a regulator in it so I can point it at the sun and charge the batteries more efficiently. I think this will be the best solution for me.

Yeah you might be right Pat. I think I will leave it for now and revisit later, it's not as if there much sunshine around at the moment anyhow!
