“Before RV’ing, I had traveled all over the US by motorcycle on a week or two vacation once or twice a year, but I was hooked on traveling and wanted to do it full time, yet we still needed to work. I had already been working remotely so it was an easy transition to the full-time RV lifestyle.
The solar on my first RV was a pretty modest system with 800w of solar on the roof, a 200w ground deploy, a 2k Watt Go power inverter, and 6 6v lead-acid batteries. I even managed to run a residential fridge off this setup after our RV fridge died. My current RV system is 3015W of solar (9 335W residential panels) on the roof, dual Victron 24v/3000W inverters, and 8 lithium batteries. I designed it to be capable of running a 15kw rooftop A/C all day and still charge fully in the summer. It’s an amazing system.”
