Running portable panels that you can set up in forest openings (long extensions). These would go on a separate controller. Their controller allowing, the portables would benefit from series wiring to [reduce current on the long extensions](https://rvwiki.mousetrap.net/doku.php?id=electrical:12v:voltage_sag).^1 | Running portable panels that you can set up in forest openings (long extensions).

* [[electrical:12v:alternator|Alternator charging]] might fill the gap for campers who drive to town fairly frequently. This is a scenario where [[electrical:12v:b2b|DC-DC charging]] might be preferable. | * [[electrical:12v:alternator|Alternator charging]] might fill the gap for campers who drive to town fairly frequently.
