Question for solar users. I have a 2018 Monty 3120RL which is prewired for roof solar. I am considering installing a 190W Go Power roof solar panel. What I hope to achieve is when dry camping for a few days to have enough 12V power to keep the batteries (2 X 12V) charged enough to run the refrigerator fans (they run constantly), a few LED reading lights in the evening, water pump and occasionally the furnace fan for an hour or so. Camping in the NW in the summer we get a fair amount of scattered sunshine and the days are long. In the winter in the storage yard when days are short and the sky is cloudy all day, the idea would be to just keep a good maintenance charge on the batteries. Can anyone with a similar set up give me advise on the performance of a single 190W panel.? Is it enough?
