Solar panels

Mandrake, You need at least a 60w panel if you run a TV and other electrical goods. Anything less and you would struggle to put back the same amount of power used for the next day
 
We were going to get one fitted in Portugal when we were there last month the guy wanted 850 Euros to fit a 95w we mistakenly decided not to have it done .we will see what they are at the York show if they are more expensive we will have it dome when we go back to Portugal hopefully January.Really we want a bigger one we had to revert to useing the odd campsite in the 3 months we were away to charge up if we did`nt drive far .We would like to be more self sufficient .

thanks we will more than likley visit there is problem with recognising fellow wild campers any where we realy need some form of id on our vans any ideas ???? then when we are out and obou we will all be able to reckognise each other mabe our names ie mandrake on the front of our vans or a wildcampers logo !!
 
Mandrake what a great idea.
A sticker or pennant would be fantastic surely we've got some graphic artists on the forum and perhaps admin could pick up and develop.

Even something like this would help

Erm. Dare I say this? -- Is this not a touch indiscreet if one is indulging in the activity?
Which is also why some of us over the years have 'reduced' our wagons to something that does not look like a motorhome. ( I don't think it's paranoia, but I could be wrong.........it has been known)

No offence intended ........... but possibly taken ............ by somebody somewhere...........a Mrs.Trellis from N.Wales perhaps?
 
Uhhhhhhhhh Sometimes I reply before I think
Point taken, it will have to be red carnations in buttonholes or ..........

or an agreed magazine displayed in the windscreen, like 'Serious Truckers Weekly' .................. which no doubt always has the top half of an airhead fully on display rather than the business end of a Foden, so the week would have to be selected for all-time to avoid confusion; ....then copies would be reqd. by newer members....
Hmm...this involves some top decision making!!!:confused: :(
