When I did my self build a few years back I wasn't convinced about solar..
After joining the forum I was gradually persuaded and installed a 100w panel at the expense of my sat dome as there wasn't room for both..
Since then I've followed threads by a number of knowledgeable folk on here and I've just finished putting 280w on my new van..
Thanks Andy @Techno for your input.. I've copied your idea for mounting and think I've used a regulator you pointed to in a number of threads..
That along with two new leisure batteries.... we'll see how it goes...
One concern I have is the panels are wired direct to battery through a controller... There are facilities in the vans power management (or so it says in the instructions ,van is a chausson 620 ) to install a solar but the dealer said max 120w I think...
Does anyone know what if any the likely problems of doing this might be...
All appears to be working but not run engine or been on hook up yet..
Appreciate any feed back if anyone has experience.
