Welcome to the FMCA Forum! you can Google High Quality Solar power sources. This should give you a good start on the size and parts kits to install the required system you hope to build ! Rich.

The inverter will work on which ever type battery you have or choose, assuming that is a 12 volt system. The inverter will either be a MSW (modified syne wave) or (pure syne wave). PSW for what is worth is a better choice than MSW because PSW will run most any appliance, while MSW is more pickey. Lithium batteries are great but are still very expensive.

tobishellmom@gmail.com Report post Posted January 31, 2022 I have been investigating solar options since I found my 98 Class C in AUG. Contact SohoSolarKits,com. I explained what I was looking for what my needs were and Alex helped me choose a portable powered solar generator kit that was right for me. The Bluetti Fit my needs and will double as a backup Generator when I am back home in PA. It is a learning curve but the have a life time tec support that I am sure will make Alex and I best friends.

Look at JC Refrigeration in Shipshewana, IN. Small town near Elkhart, IN. They do solar and refrigeration. Good people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
