After two months dry camping without moving the new batteries are really doing great with about 4 good hours of sunlight on the solar panels. Been getting about two days of full cloud cover at a time but one sunny day has been making up for it fine. This trip is the first extensive use of solar and we are very pleased. 39 this morning when turned on the heat and it cycled 5 times which is a lot of power usage for us. Nice sunny day ahead so should make that up fast.
