But how many days? 3? Assuming 3, do you suppose 3 trickle chargers would be
cheaper than a 45 watt panel and converter? Just a thought.

If you park the bus for a long period of time (in the sun) a trickle charger
will help keep the batteries charged. But you are talking about output in
Milliamps, this will take days to charge a depleted battery

Man what shows are you going to? I wouldn't mind a free solar panel!
And I was actually just wondering if just a little trickle charger panel
would help much. They're so cheap I might just try one.
Thanks again for your time. Kelly

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,... )< (- (_ (_ `(
