PGs camper van

yes there are some good Youtube videos showing families spending week long holidays off grid, using just one 100w panel. I noted that they were running heating and refrigeration from LPG though.

Inclination AND Orientation of panel are important to get highest output. If you are assured of being able to orientate the van so that fixed panel points due south then all well and good. but this seems unlikely?

Our solution is to have the panel mounted INSIDE the front window while the van stands at home or is in transit.
This means considerably reduced generation at these time, but means the vans batteries should always be trickle charged to maximum before the start of every trip.

Being so light, when at overnight site, the framed panel can be easily positioned outside ( on top) of the van at optimum orientation and tilt.

These are the panels I mean. £25 including a 20a charge controller. You'll se that the panel has eyes in the corners so that it can be lashed to fixing points on frame/ roof: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100W-Solar-Pa...4678457367
