The well nuts work like a pop rivet, expanding on the backside when you tighten them up from the top with a bolt and wrench. Doing it with a bolt and wrench can be a PITA holding them from turning...

Re: 200 watts solar on 07 C190P Roadtrek

We had a total of $1341 that we could claim on our income tax solar credit and get 30% back, so it came out at about $940. It seems to be pretty reasonable for the mono crystalline panels, an MPPT...

Re: 200 watts solar on 07 C190P Roadtrek

In the garage, 70 degrees, no sun, 43 degrees in frig, we consistently tested at about 15 AH. In the real world, still limited testing, we have seen between 17 and about 35-40AH. If we can just...

Re: 200 watts solar on 07 C190P Roadtrek

April is here, still lots of snow around, but finally got a sunny day to do a better test of the solar output. Just put the van out at 10:00am Central daylight time, and it is running at about 95...

Re: 200 watts solar on 07 C190P Roadtrek

Re: 200 watts solar on 07 C190P Roadtrek

I just hooked up the solar through the controller to the coach batteries at the converter/charger. They are already wired through the separator to the starting battery, so I didn't have to do...

Re: 200 watts solar on 07 C190P Roadtrek

Well, the winter that won't end still hasn't but, at least I finally got the roof paint done (long story), and everything back on to test the solar. Nice and sunny today, but only 35F. I pulled the...

Re: 200 watts solar on 07 C190P Roadtrek

We do really like it with the permanent bed. We use the bed lounger type pillows for sitting on the bed watching TV. Plenty comfortable.

Re: 200 watts solar on 07 C190P Roadtrek

The mats we had been waiting for finally showed up, so I could get in and finish up the inside work after the solar install. As long as the bed was out, I decided to remove the driver side wheel...

Re: 200 watts solar on 07 C190P Roadtrek
