We added solar to our camper recently and thought we'd share our experience with everyone. We have a 19' Palomino Gazelle G210 travel trailer and wanted to be able to boondock without having to tote a generator around.
We put 2 Kyocera 135-watt panels on the roof with tiltable mounts and a Blue Sky 3024iL MPPT charge controller with remote display in the camper. We detailed the entire process from deciding what to get to the actual installation on our web site. Lots of pictures there as well.

SONICSIX, Thanks for the very detailed solar install. I have been thinking of something like this and with your step-by-step install and materials list it looks very doable. Thanks again. Marty Hill
