I believe I have finally finished my solar project. Added another 645 watts of panels on the roof after removing the TV antenna and putting some panels around the roof air. I was blown away at the power output today. Peaked at 3200 watts but we had many high thin clouds. All in all, I spent about 15k on this project. Victron is not cheap but it just works. I have done testing to see if one honda generator will run it which it does in a pinch if the main generator conks out. Victron is adjustable for amperage input so it will not overload a generator, pedestal or a 15 amp extension cord as it goes into assist with power and batteries to keep everything running. Roof air is working well and was a cost effective solution. I will look for alternative cargo bay mounted a/c for the front area. Today I enjoyed the solitude unlit coach. Fell asleep on the couch for a couple hours. Not something I do at all. Felt guilty when I got up at 5pm!
