I see a few kits in the USA that you can build your own solar panel.
Has anyone tried this?

Thanks.

u may be better off buying a small generator. the solar panels may charge your batteries if there is enough sunlight. real beotch if yer batteries run dead a t night. at least a generator will work. and you'll need one to run ac or microwave. will be close to the same money also after install etc etc.

You can get quite a bit of juice ffrom panels. Need a big bank of batteries to make it usefull too. It's pricy for sure. Donut depends what your end goal is.

Already have a built in generator in the toyhauler. This is like a project to add to the toyhauler.

No end goal. Maybe a 125 watt panel for the roof. More of a project to keep batteries topped up when parked.

He needs a outside kitchen with beer fridge for us yes.

Plus then we all can plug into him and burn his gas.

He has too much money. Look he's buying a solar trailer, led lights.

He like duck dynasty.

Just burn dynasty. Oh and he works less than the duck guys

Plan was to build complete panel and then install.

But now kijiji has found me a deal on a 130 watt panel. I ordered 3 one for me and 2 other guys at work.
