Solar Power Install.
alans1100:
I've bitten the proverbial bullet and ordered an 80watt solar panel/10amp regulator kit (includes wiring) and a 20AH 12 volt deep cycle battery last night which will be installed in/on the trailer.

The only requirement is to be able to recharge the laptop battery while away from home and maybe phone camera etc. and maybe a LED light or two.
The panel dimensions (830 x 670mm) are similar in size to the rack (825 x 675mm) on the back of my trailer and should be fairly easy to mount though with what will be needed will have to wait until the panel is in place. The panel weighs 8kg and the battery is 6.5kg which should off set the weight from the Cooler and contents when that's on the front of the trailer.
