I'm just wondering why you would need the solar charger?

That’s great, thanks for sharing!

My rationale is, I want to avoid running the gennie as much as possible to save gas and not add to the noise. I’m also very interested in doing more boondocking, this 200 watt system along with four 6v batteries should help us with that.

We are going to experiment at PIR, see what we can do and what we can’t. I’d love to run the residential fridge the entire week, but without the solar I didn’t think that was possible.
