 ====== Synopsis: HandyBob's RV Battery Charging Puzzle ======
+[Note from Secessus:  I do my best here to faithfuly summarize //Bob's// point of view and not editorialize or take issue with it.]
 HandyBob and his wife are fulltimers in a 5th wheel and have no generator.  He prefers quiet and and wants folks to stop using generators, or at least use them more considerately.

 "Professional" installers may not be any good.
-On sizing:
-> "If you want to just be able to run your lights, water pump, charge the cell phone and run the occasional small kitchen appliance, acting more like a camper than a full timer, you only need one panel and one or two batteries.  If you want to run the TV a bit, computer, the microwave to warm up soup or make popcorn and some kitchen appliances you’ll need two panels and four batteries.  Of course you need more panels if you go where the sun doesn’t shine or if want to run more, such as unusual loads like a freezer in the basement or a CPAP machine to keep you breathing all night." -- HandyBob
