RVers Guide to Solar Battery Charging

This book, also known as "RVers Guide to Solar and Inverters," is for you if you want detailed information about RV electrical systems, how they work and how to make them less costly and more reliable. It’s for you if you use a generator or RV park hookups but because of their limitations and costs want an independent power source as an option. It’s for you if you want to boondock away from crowded campgrounds. Even though the book contains technical details, the basics are well covered. "We remember what it was like when we hardly knew an amp from a watt," write authors Noel and Barbara Kirkby. In this popular book they include all the information you will need to investigate, decide, size, select, purchase and install solar components or a packaged system in your RV. The authors, veteran RVers, discuss batteries and power inverters, and address questions like "How can I determine if solar will work for me? Does a solar panel require maintenance? Is it easy to convert my RV to solar power? Is a solar system expensive? Do solar panels have to be kept in direct sunlight? What appliances will operate from one solar panel? What’s the advantage of more than one panel? Is a solar panel’s power used up with time? Do solar panels have to be disconnected when driving? Does freezing, rain or heat affect solar panels? Can I still use a generator? Do I need a voltage regulator? Where can I put an extra battery if I have no outside compartment? Can an RV alternator be overloaded by too many batteries? . . . and there is much more. For the RVer who yearns to "boondock" away from the crowds without running a noisy, gas-eating generator, and enjoy all the comforts afforded by household power, this book is essential reading. Although it was originally published in 1986, most of the information has held up through the years and is as valuable today as when originally published. Reprinted 2002, 164 pages
