I posted a few days ago about a 100w solar set up... I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a Renogy RV kit that I will be hard mounting to the roof rack of my 4runner to feed my ARB.
Now my question is, I've been reading all the different forums and instructions online and it's a bit overwhelming so I'm hoping you guys can answer one more question for me.
I don't want to get rid of the 90W Solar suitcase that I have now just because I own it and it doesn't take up that much space in the Bantam trailer that I pull. I read on a forum somewhere that there are some full time RV'ers who complement their roof top arrays with a solar suitcase for when they need it. Does this mean I could, in theory get up to 190W of solar if I were to attach, via alligator clamps the suitcase to the battery that the 100W roof mounted panel will be hardwired to. The vehicle only has one battery and the roof panel has its own charge controller and the solar suitcase has a built in charge controller
this is what I currently use, without the kit that should be arriving this week..
