Re: 100w Flexable Solar Cell For Roof

Re: Awnings??

Hi - we have a Khyam driveaway awning which we use for longer stays but it might be a little big for a quick one nighter. It served us very well last summer when it was soooo wet. We really needed the space to get all the wet weather stuff dry overnight ready to be soaked again the next day :lol ...

Re: Your thoughts on an easy install Solar panel kit?

Re: Your thoughts on an easy install Solar panel kit?

Hi guys, given that its winter and I need to ensure that my van is ready to go all the time, I decided to swap the battery lead over from the leisure battery to the main battery. My 100w Akt panel had the battery back up to strength in a few hours, but then I wondered if it was safe to drive the van ...
