I have a 24' motorhome that I want to install 2 or 3 panels on. Would these panels be a good choice. Any thoughts or tips you can give me.

These are not as wide as a full size panel and charge the battery attached to it very well. Mine works great.

Those solar panels are very good, you can easy install them and use, make sure you will have controller connected.

Depends on your application. If you are installing on a bus, coach, or motorhome, you should be good except for connecters and zip ties. If you are installing on a trailer like I did, you will need another connection cord. I thought that I could build one. Turns out the connecter needed is unavailable as far as I can tell except from rear view safety. Cost me another $100 bucks. Upset me at first. I called and expressed my frustration. Paid the money, and couldn't be happier with the end product!

you want to put them up front near your jack so you can see them, i have a 33' and place one on the body behind my lp tank in clear veiw from the jack.THIS WILL SHOW YOU RIGHT TO LEFT the other one on the side of the jack for up + down. it does work well for me.i USED A FOUR FOOT LEVLE INSIDE MY CAMPER TO LEVLE IT FRIST.

yes, you can use 3 or 4. I am also just using three, but it's nice to have that extra panel in case I want to use it somewhere else.

Contact manufacture of your panels on what the output of both panels would be relative to your Volt/Amp requirements. It has been many years since I used Ohm's law! Good luck! (my connectors are still in the bag, as I had the same question,I received no response when I made my inquiry)

Ok. another newbie here. I was thinking about getting this to install on my shed so that I can put my motorcycle in the shed in the winter and still have the battery tender connected. Would this do the trick? Would I still need to use the battery tender or could i connect the solar panels directly to the motorcycle battery?

I also have a 2 door. I bought the 4 piece set, I used the two long ones and they look great. While I there is no official place for the short ones I intend to put them somewhere else. You could do the same or try to sell the short plates. Either way, definitely worth it.

I'm using 2 36-48" lights for a 72" tank. I have full coverage but have to use two remotes, with 2 control panels - there is not an extra spot to join 2 into one panel.

I put the brackets on my panel and I have a similar type situation but haven't actually mounted it yet. You may need longer screws, but the mounts are pretty secure to the panel. Hope that helps.

Yes I believe you should be ok with 1/8 panel, I installed 3 of these in a jeep (yj) and it was a pretty thin panel. As far as getting more middle sections, I think I saw them somewhere but not sure.

you can buy extra sets of panels, they all interlock with each other. I bought 3 sets, I used them outside all together. Great products, works well.

Hi, I installed the Uni-Solar panel on a Lance 1020 camper and found it pretty simple, simply roll it out and remove the backing. It bounded extremely well so get it in the right place to start with. We traded the camper for a larger one a couple of months after installation so I had limited experience with performance but it kept the battery charged and put out the amps and voltage advertised.

They make one for the 2 Dr AND one for the 4 Dr Unlimited so make sure you get the right one. Well worth the cost. I can touch my panels after my 2013 Unlimited has been sitting in the sun and they feel warm. Touch the uncovered area beside the panels and the surface is very hot so they do considerably cut the heat radiation through the hard top.

Hi,1 panel is 100w, that's good enough. If you have 12V, light bulbs in ur van, you can connect 2 or may be 1 12w bulb. You will still be having 88w to be used, u can charge ur laptops and small electronic appliances. Good thing about this panel is that, these are expandable. You can buy 1 more panel later on. If u decide to buy 2nd panel, just buy panel alone that Is around $149. U don't need charge control with that.. Thanks,Masroor

a morningstar 60 <AMP> controller will not be big enough, this is what I have for just 3 of the panels, and it is maxed out. Have you looked to see if you can put 5 on top ? I have a 35 foot RV but there are a lot of things up top that get in the way... Anyway, get the 80 amp morningstar and maybe just 4 panels.The grapesolar and the morningstar have worked very well for me. I would also suggest the remote panel(s)good luck !

I believe that is the first option. The panel will not come on unless it has a good battery. Installation was a breeze. Good luck.

I don't know if u can get additional panels. We bought 2 sets. They r very sturdy we really like them. We r through with them now and wish to sell them.
