Ok great. Yeah its not like I really "need" solar (at least not right now). Its more of a "want thing".

I hope to work from the road more this year so I will have to stop at parking lots/trucks stops/WM for hours working off my laptop/phone. Plus work from the CG during the business hours.

So would think solar will allow me to shut off the engine and keep the Genny off longer (if its not hot outside and not plugged in anywhere). Plus some day we hope to do some camping off the grid for a few days.

What solar system did you go with? How many amps is your Solar controller/charger? How do you like it so far? How many batteries are you running? Anything you would do different? Thanks.
