The only solar panels I have seen are the ones that were handed out for free
at shows or a raffle or door prizes. They can be used as a trickle charges.
If you are looking for a second battery, go to a battery rebuilder's shop
and buy a rebuilt one for $50-$60.

Subject: [tcb] Question About Dual Battery Set-Up And Solar Panels
Hello. I need to get a deep cycle RV battery for my Westfalia Campmobile.
I'm seeing about a gazillion types with vastly varying prices. ($120-$600!)
Is it really all that complicated or can I just get the cheap Sears
Marine/RV battery? ($120)
Also, I have noticed a lot of Westies with solar panels. Why? If they have
a campsite with electrical hook-up the battery can charge itself. If not,
the alternator will charge it during a short drive. I don't get it. Why
would anybody want to drop $400 for a solar panel? (Tell me it isn't just to
be "green".)
Thanks for your time,... )< (- (_ (_ `(
