One of the things I did not think about when I got my Expanda was solar or the provision for same.
I am now thinking of getting it sorted so have a few questions.
1. I have two batteries in the van each with 120amp hour capacity. They are only needed to run lights and other bits and pieces when free camping. Will a 120W hour panel suffice?
2. The batteries may sometimes have to run a 60litre engle but i also have an extra battery 80amp hour under the hood that assists with this and i also have a portable 80W panel. If I chose not to take the portable panel can I charge the hood battery from the vans solar?
3. Does the weight on the roof impact on pushing the roof up? This is a question my wife has.
Looking forward to your replies and suggestions.
