THOR #4040
Solar

We have 2 solar panels on the roof. Our 38RSSA sits out all year in a nearby storage lot. The solar panels door the trick and keep the batteries (4) fully charged. I made sure when the panels were set up that even though we turn mostly everything off through the disconnect the batteries are still charged.
In our old 5th wheel I went through taking the batteries out, keeping them in the garage, trickle charger, etc. It got kind of old after a while. I promised myself when we got this DRV that we would add solar just for that purpose -- to keep the batteries charged through the winter.


Good luck.


Don
