Are you using solar energy? Solar panels have come so far in recent years, and have become very affordable. If you're building your own camper, you should absolutely consider adding solar to your set up. This can be done as simply as adding a solar charge controller to your tongue box. Here are the three most popular options when it comes to solar panels on a teardrop, along with some of our thoughts: 1. Permanately mounted -Once theyre on, they're on! Nothing to store. -Need to wire them into the camper electrical system. -Can set up to charge the battery while driving -Many options for all budgets -Con: Need to park in sunny area/rotate camper as sun moves to maximize input 2. Portable Panels -Compact and easy to store -East to set up and move as sun moves. -Just add a solar controller and possible SAE adapter in tongue box. -No need to park camper in specific orentation/the sun. -Many options for all budgets -Multiple uses/can use without your camper -Con: Can only charge while stationary. 3. Removable Panel -Mounted while driving to charge battery underway. -Removable with long cord to easily move as sun shifts. -Can take off when not traveling to store in garage. -Wire into the roof of your camper. -Con: more expensive than other options.
