    The guy did say there will be a Controller installed, and later I can go to a Third panel and install an inverter. How many Watts inverter do you suggest? My wife wants to be able to run the AC once in a while dry camping. I said you don’t run the AC when you are boondocking. I am not really sure [emoji2958]. [emoji16]

    I suggest the Victron Multiplex 3000
    We have this and it electrifies all of our 110
    Outlets in the camper. It also serves as the 3 stage charger for the batteries. It has an auto switch also.

    This kind of investment though required other components like shunts, bus bars, on off switches as well as enough battery power.

    The one thing you will not be able to run with
    ANY setup is your AC . For that you need a generator.

    Yes I learned this about the AC. Starting with 2 x 190 Watts panels and a controller, only for charging the batteries. My dealership where we purchased our Trailer uses Go-power for their panels, and probably a Go-power setup, like the Go-power pure sine wave 3,000 Watt 12VDC Inverter. I’ll find out what they use on the 17th when I bring our Coach in.

    In a word Don't go there with your Go Power thoughts. I headed down the same road and by the time I cost out the extras (even ordered the transfer switch which is now sitting on the shelf) to make the Go Power inverter work (transfer switch, etc) I was better off with the Victron MultiPlus. Besides if you read the reviews the Victron is better rated. My dealer also used Go Power panels (Canada made - good panel) and also recommended thier inverter, However if you ever consider Lithium batterys you will need the Victron ability to program the built in converter charger for you specific battery needs. As far as I know GoPower is not there yet.

    Trying to show options
