Solar panels

[Katmat]

Looking to see if anyone has installed solar panels from Harbor Freight on their tug? If so how has it worked out.

Thanks,

Matt,

You can get a better panel and charge controller for about the same $. I put a 200 Watt panel and MPPT charge controller on our R27 last year for around $250. It puts out enough energy to self-sustain the fridge. All components were sourced online. Let me know if you want more details.
