EcoExplorer 10 Watt RV Solar Panel Kit by EcoDirect
EcoExplorer RV Solar Power Kit: Power Anywhere!
EcoDirect.com sells a variety of Solar Panel Kits designed for your RV. These kits vary from 10 Watt kits that trickle charge your batteries in storage to 130 watt kits that can power electronics like small TVs. Over their lifetime, these systems will pay for themselves by extending your battery life and replacing expenses such as campground hook-ups.
You will need to source your own 10 gauge wire for your kit. It can be found at your local hardware store. There are two benefits to this system: the wire is cheaper, and you can get it custom cut to the precise size you need, eliminating waste. You will need wire long enough to cover the distance between the panel and charge controller and the distance between the charge controller and the battery bank.
