  1. I will be happy with a couple of amps per hour. Should keep things ticking over nicely

  4. Can't you "employ" one of the kids to sit quietly in the engine bay with a multimeter?

  5. Bit more done tonight. Holes drilled and Bulkhead fittings tigersealed in and cables threaded through.

    Just need to check the battery is connected uo and then I can do the fianl connection.

    I have put my sun canopy over the panels as to connect them up they cannot be under load.

  7. Meter fitted now[​IMG]

    First trip away this weekend so will be interesting to see how the solar panels cope with just being glued on to the roof!!

  8. Rear mudflap fitted thanks to @lhu1281 for the brackets.

    Also fitted rear gravel guard which I have had in the garage for at least 4 years!!!

    I glued mine with tiger seal, just a thin band around the perimeter about 15-20mm in. So far so good, I hit 85mph down a hill today and it's still there. :D

  12. Currently overcast and drizzling, getting 1.3A from the solar panels. More than enough for my fridge and led lights and radio

    I've just bought a Westy, maybe gonna chop the pop top onto my tin top, it's got a solar panel filling the roof rack at the front of the roof, do I need to buy stuff to make it work ?
     
  17. Yes probably, depends what is in the westy already, might have the charge controller etc in the westy.
