Portable solar systems, the way to go!
Solar panels are an environmentally friendly and cost effective
solution to charge the battery system in your RV. Your charged
battery will then allow you to operate your 12V camping fridge,
lights, 12V television, CD/Radio and any other 12V appliances. They
are an ideal power supply solution for those who enjoy 'free
camping' or camping on non-powered sites.
There's been much debate between Caravanners as to whether they
should purchase a portable solar system or install fixed panels to
the roof of their RV. To put it simply, they'll both do the job
well, however a portable set-up is cost effective and offers a more
versatile solution.
Discover the advantages below:
- Panels can be positioned to maximise their sunlight exposure at
all times
- Save on the installation costs involved with fixed panel
set-ups
- Keep the portable system for your next RV
- Compact, lightweight and easy to store
- Portable system can be used for purposes other than just the
RV
- No drilling holes in your RV's roof, means no water leaks
The portable solar systems can be purchased though

systems feature 2 x panels with collapsible stands, a built in
solar regulator and a carry bag.
