    This panel can put out close to 100 watts ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxOqI2yqX0XVrhR2BMJciTWrHJpG8FhJyg when positioned in the appropriate southernly direction, tilted to the optimal angle for your latitude/date, and connected to a higher capacity device than a 500. The built in kickstand angle is a fixed at 50 degrees. Up to 20% more power can be output by selecting the actual date and latitude optimal angle.The 500 will only input 3.5A maximum at 18 volts for 63 watts. Some of the excess power from the panel can be fed into a USB battery bank, charged directly from the panel while also charging a 500. This will allow you to harvest as much as 63 + 15 = 78 watts.If this panel is used to charge a larger device, such as the power station, then its full output potential can be realized.

    There extremely strong sticky pads you can put on the mounting brackets/feet of your solar panels. No drilling. You can’t pull them off.

    Ok, comment coming from a retired electrical design engineer that worked for contractors for 35 years and did large utility solar for 3 years. Good job Craig! Only one thing you might change next time. Typical clips are made from angles and screwed into the sides of the frame so they are accessible from above. Yours work, but might be harder to install. Again, Good Job! Respectfully, Kevin

    Congrats on the new rig. The install is looking good. great job. I have only one nit pick, the battery cables going into the rig should be fed from opposite ends of the battery bank. Positive on one end and the negative on the battery at the other end of the bank. Just a nit, it helps with power balancing between the batteries. With bot pos and neg attached to one battery, that battery works slightly harder than the rest.

    Nothing but respect for you both. I installed a similar system in our fifth wheel, and spent about a week doing the "inside" components at one location, and another 3-4 days installing the panels and rooftop wiring at a different campground, in a different state. Unfortunately, my rooftop days were over 95 degrees, would have loved the cool Colorado air. Wish I was following you guys when you were in Co Springs, would have been glad to help with the install. God Bless your adventures down the road!

  • @SaltyVetAdventures

    I noticed you have the positive and negative wires coming off the same battery. If you have 3 batteries in a line then you want the positive coming off one end battery and the negative coming off the opposite end battery. This allows all three batteries to charge evenly. The way you have it set up, the first battery will work "harder" than the far end battery. This will shorten battery life. Just an FYI.

      @SaltyVetAdventures and @Captain-Awesome, he has heavy gauge jumpers between all the positives and all the negatives. The battery jars are wired in parallel. All the positives are at the same voltage potential and all the negatives are at the same voltage potential. It doesn't matter which battery posts the main leads come off of, they are all the same electrically. You have a conceptual misunderstanding of the electrical theory in play here.

    Looks good. Something to keep in mind is that you want to make sure you clean the roof / existing sealant thoroughly before applying anything on top of it. Even though this camper is fairly new they're still going to be some debris dust etc on there and it will prevent the new sealant from adhering as good as it could if it was going on a completely clean prepped surface.

    That is an insane amount of solar! Very cool. I have 1300 watts and 900 amp hours of lithium iron phosphate batteries, and that was the most I had ever seen on a rig in 7 years of boondocking. 2800 watts is incredible, and is going to be a joy to have and use.
    So sorry for all of your past mechanical issues. I went from a 5th wheel that was nothing but trouble to a home build cargo trailer to RV conversion that I am still working on. Much smaller, but so much simpler and I can fix anything that breaks, which hasn't happened yet. It's amazing how much better of a job you can do yourself than the rushed RV company employees who built your rig.
    It seems I never had a single day when everything on the 5th wheel was working properly. I loved things like slides when I first got them, but now I love not having them anymore. No RV mechanics, and not even any dump stations anymore with a compost toilet. I boondock 100% of the time.

    Hi guys... Congratulations on the new rig ... You guys work so good together... Looks like you're doing a great job on that install.... We are not full time we still use a generator... Can't quite justify the cost for solar... Really enjoy your videos... You guys are the cutest couple... Looking forward to the next one... Stay safe...J&A

      Thank you so much! We used a generator only for about a year before deciding to fully invest in a solar system so I understand that! We had to make sure we really liked boondocking as much as we do 😆

    Good job man!! With all that solar and not too many batteries for the time being you could look into hot water solar dump to use the solar when the batteries are all charged up. I think you could do it with the 120 volt element you have and some controls!

    Thank you for the awesome video guys! If only I was younger I might consider doing a solar install myself. Dunno though, the wiring part looks "complicated". Good job!
