GREAT INFO here - thanks all! Guess I'll be going to Northern to pick up a solar panel!

Huntindawgtenn, what were you wanting to power with the panel? The smaller panels just don't have enough output to help much. There are some sites on the Internet that will help you figure what size panel you need based on your estimated power draw. Solar panels sure are great when boondocking. The 130 watt panel that I have will keep the voltage on the battery from dropping any when running the TV, satellite system and the fantastic vent fan all at the same time. That is if it is getting full sun light. I ordered the panel and charge controller from Northern Arizona Wind & Sun at www.windsun.com. I was very satisfied with the price they had after I shopped around.
