I like the generator conversion, ive debated swapping my generator out for a solar setup. that looks like plenty of space for batteries converter inverter etc. could have my off grid rig I want yet with some work.
It would sure make for an amazing off grid solution. You could technically do 4 batteries to make things last even longer. Not too shabby. Off the top of my head, I like to store things like, foldable lawn chairs, extra oil, shoes and sometimes dry wood for camping.
Can you confirm that is a 1000 watt panel. I have never seen any panels rated for 1000 watts that are that small. And if so, can you provide a link? Thanks!
@@thebestfamilyoutdoorshow Also, did you have that storage box built (in the space for the generator) or did ya DIY it. Seems like an excellent addition of storage plus a big weight savings of removing the generator.
@@Grevlain Hey I went up there and I wasn't able to tell what make or model the Solar Panel is at this point. My apologies bud. The labels are on the bottom on the panel and I would need to remove it to see it. I am pretty sure you are right that it isn't a 1000w panel, now that I have thought about it a little more - I think it is a 200-300w panel that costs me $1000 dollars. I wish I could be more specific, but I really can't. I didn't focus to much on it because the main purpose of this video is showing the general setup of a solar panel on the Majestic 23A. It's been a awhile since this was installed, so at least the theory of the install is sound. The storage box was done professionally - I had a person weld/bolt on a metal plate storage box to hold the batteries. So it is super strong to hold the heavy batteries in addition to other stuff. I think a DYI with water treated wood would work very well too and would be much easier to DYI.
@@thebestfamilyoutdoorshow Excellent. I really appreciate the extra info you gathered. That wattage and price seems right on target for the age of the panel. Thanks so much. I just want to toss a question out there...that platform the toilet sits on - do you have any idea if its done because there is something under it, or did they just build in an empty box to lift the toilet? I ask because I would want to swap it out for a composting toilet. Thanks again!! Cheers!!

Will get back to you on this. I am going to get up there again soon and try to get the model and stuff like that to confirm.
