A Generator Free Class A that Never Runs out of Power!

We installed the pictured Mitsubishi 110 Watt Battery Maintainer System on this older class A motor home during spring of 2007.

110 Watt Mitsubishi Solar Panel

The owner of this rig spends most of the summer dry camping at his favorite fishing lake. Being retired his fishing trips are quite lengthily, averaging 10 days or more. In the past Fred had to run his generator nightly to keep his batteries up.

After installing the single 110 watt solar panel it didn't take Fred very long to realize that he no longer had to run his generator, nor his coach motor to keep his batteries at full charge.

Fred has repeatedly thanked us for giving him the ability to dry camp for weeks at time, and watch two movies a night, without ever having to worry about his batteries again.
