TrailManor Owner's Forum - View Single Post - IMHO The Best Arrangement For Dry Camping

At Sam's a 220AH AGM GC2 is $180 and weighs 70 lbs. At Christmas they are usually $25 off. A wet GC2 is usually $80 and I have two of those. At 7 1/4" wide, two exactly fit the width of a rear compartment of a 2720SL.

My solar panels are on the rear compartment and shade the bed. If building another system would use three panels. Output is reduced in shade but can still be effective even at 30% (about 5A).

My highest load when generator isn't running is 12v-64A for three minutes to make coffee. Usually takes about 25 minutes for solar to restore.
