    Head spinning. All I know is  I followed Handy Bob to the tee. I asked him about wiring my panels in series and this was his reply.

     

    “If you series wire panels you double the voltage, while the amps stay the same.  Two panels series wired with PWM gives you the same power as one panel.  No gain at all.  MPPT supposedly turns the extra volts int…[Read more]

    Anonymous, I’m sorry you feel that way. I didn’t intend to make it sound like I was a cronie in the background. I was trying for comedy more than anything. I do think he’s right but I’m sorry if anything I said made you feel bullied. I hope you don’t leave on bad terms

    Ray, that was my point when I started in on this post. Eddie, I completely AGREE with YOU. I’ve been in contact with brilliant Bob many times and he’s help me set up my system. Every piece equipment I’ve bought was based on Bob’s advice.

    Hey Ray, my wife came through and got me two 100 watt panels for me for my B-day (http://goo.gl/vyfL4K). I have a few questions for you. 1. On you guide when you installed your solar panels you link the some Z-brackets on Amazon. They offer 3 sizes and I’m not sure what size to get. 2. you said you pre-drilled into the roof. What size pilot hole…[Read more]

    That’s a hard question to addressed. Each RV is different. And depending on what inverter you go with. Mine is hard wired, but a lot if them have outlets That you plug into. Your breaker box has two sides, one is AC (breakers) and the other should be DC (auto type fuse). Attached is a rough sketch of how I did mine.

    As for Dave, I clearly said to…[Read more]

    I own a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel. I used to have a 2006 Weekend Warrior Toy hauler that weighed in around 13-14,000 pounds fully loaded. I’ve enjoyed my Dodge and have had really good luck with it. Personally I love the Cummins motor. But If I was to walk into a dealer right now and buy a 2015 truck it would be the Ford.

    After owning 3 RV’s I’ve finally figured out that the Converter/Charger they put in RV’s from the factory are for the most part JUNK! The absolute best advice I can give anyone is to upgrade the Converter to a (American made) Inverter/charger. I just put a Magnum Energy (USA) (http://goo.gl/fOjiqR) in my camper and you’ll be amazed how much better…[Read more]
