Thanks, philip. Dry camping a 40g fresh tank was a priority for me, 85W factory solar was a bonus, glad to have it with the factory solar controller/panel already installed.

An auxilliary panel would be beneficial but 85W provides a lot of juice to recharge the batteries after a night running the furnace.

I have the 40g water bladder also, used it many times. The small fridge/freezer can be a limiting factor dry camping, but canned fruit and vegetables are ok.
