Whilst sitting here in the driving rain at El Berro, I thought it might be a good opportunity to pick a few Funsters brains.
We are spending more time these days being more adventurous and seeking out Aires in more remote areas and so far it's been very successful and we hope to continue.
Before we set off on our travels we had the Gaslow system installed which to date has been great (and cheap to fill). So that was the gas problem out of the way and no more empty Calor bottles to deal with! We can just about survive for three/four days on the leisure battery before the wonderful (not) Elddis blown air heater packs up because it detects low 12v to the fan. The pump begins to die and the tele goes off. UGH! It's not fair on other campers to run the engine up either. So after all this I think we need a solar panel to assist. I'm sure there's a lot of Funsters with vast experience and knowledge of Solar panels ie what to avoid,what ones are best etc. I'm basically looking for a fixed roof panel that will assist the 12v system for 4/5 days of good reliability and quality that will do the job. I'd rather spend a few extra bob than buy a cheapo! It will be the first job I'll have done when I return th the UK. Any advice really appreciated. HAPPY TRAVELS.
