Currently installing 215w panel on roof and connecting via 30A charge controller to LB. I store my MH many miles from my house and use at irregular intervals so looking to get some sort of trickle charging for starter battery.
Options are:
1. add some wiring to 215w panel as a fused jumper between + on LB and + on starter battery and remove fuse when using MH but replace when stored.
2. Use a 5w panel I have lying around and make up a cigarette lighter cable to plug in when stored. The PV is diode protected so no battery drain. Handy as I could leave it on my car when away in MH!
Any thoughts on which would work best?
