I'm a complete newb with solar power anything....I'm drilling around in here trying to learn what i wanna know, but figured I'd post while I'm hunting around too.
I just got a m416 trailer w/ RTT on it...using it this weekend for the first time too (2 nights). Tho, the weather forecast is calling for possible muggy weather at night, so I want to add a fan or two inside the tent (looking at the 10" O2Cool fans)
I'm looking at a very basic setup right now that I can set up for this weekend...then work on making it better afterwards. What I'd like to do is add a Harbor Freight tongue box to the trailer, put a car battery in it with a power inverter, and then run an extension cable up to the tent to plug the fan(s) into
I have no idea what kind of draw the fans will have on the battery, but i"m hoping/thinking they'll last overnight? Either way, I want to get a solar panel to recharge the battery while i'm out offroading during the day. Looking for suggestions on what I need in terms of a solar panel & if I need a regulator/solar charge controler/whatever-it's-called.
TIA
