[QUOTE="LinearZero, post: 3742678, member: 42694"] I've put together a setup for a camper trailer based on info from most of the sources already listed here (no HF stuff though). First thing is to calculate size requirements based on what you are powering and for how long (gives you inverter size if 120v AC), plus how long you expect to run without sun exposure (gives you battery bank size). Recharge rate/panel size can be estimated based on your expectations at this point. If you are looking for emergency power only, such as lighting and/or small appliances, you can get away with a simple system without too much heartache. I would even venture to say that you can start your endeavor with the panel, battery, and a 12v fuse block. You can get some emergency lighting, cell phone recharged, etc based on this without much more than about 300-400 bucks. To start with, what do you think you would want to power with it? [/QUOTE]
