Solar panels

[maingate]

Sorry Nolly, thatis not what I am after.

My last van, an Elddis had an external 12 volt socket, used for filling the fresh water tank with a submersible pump. I know they do exist but cannot find one online.

Where is Peter (John`s Cross M/homes when you need him)

The nearest I have got is a DIN socket but it is only made for a thinner wall section than a m/home.

No probs, I'll pop pop down the boatyard tomorrow and see if my son knows of anything.
Try googling "Ross Courtney". Good hunting.

Th panel in the middle is a charge controller, which prevents the solar panel from over charging the battery, and prevents the battery from discharging through the solar panel through the night. I have a 100 watt solar panel and a 10amp charge controller fitted, which I brought off E-bay. I fitted them all myself with no problems.

Does anyone know how long it takes to charge up my leisure battery from empty whilst driving? Its an 85Amp.

As you will see, I've not managed to finish it yet and need to update with the actual fitting of the panels but I hope it will give you some help.
