Need solar help
Hi all. 2019 362RD. I've purchased solar set up just this year for self install. Do not know where to begin. Live full time. Off grid, stationary. Will solar run my rig with both a/c's? Has anybody had problems with batteries getting hot, fire Hazzard. Been warned not to install on rig. Don't understand as many full times have solar. Any help. Please and thank you

Will Prowse YouTube channel is a great place for learning about this stuff. He has tutorials covering basics to advanced systems.
To run the AC units you will spend a LOT of money.
I'm in a couple of FB groups. This question comes up frequently. Some people who can run everything off grid from solar and batteries have spent between $10,000 to $20,000.

Hi,
this is what it looks like to run both AC's.
I would strongly recommend to seek a pro to do the install.
It took this team 3 days (actually 5 due to weather)
https://thedrycampers.com
The also offer DIY sessions, where you can install yourself but will be assisted by them.
Thanks,
Mike

Holly cow! That picture is what you find when you look up NOT diy in the dictionary.

If you’re stationary, invest Hybrid AC MINI SPLITS. Being stationary it’s easier to place outside unit. .
