    Yet another Solar Newbie question...

    Finally got the last piece of this puzzle done.... Finished up my install of the solar panels and wiring by dropping in this big bad boy... XS Power 27F.....930 CCA, 91ah, 195 RC...

    Trailer vs. Roof

    like you, I run a 3.4 4Runner.... I've had the RTT on the roof and on a trailer and hands down, its the trailer all the way..... so much easier and less of a MPG hit

    24F battery??

    Thanks for the information everyone... I decided to go with a 27F battery as it's less than two inches wider and has a much bigger capacity... It should fit in the space without too much modification,Mir any at all

    Yet another Solar Newbie question...

    wanted to thank everyone for their feedback... got the system mounted.

I currently run a 24F...

    Solar Newbie Question

    Thanks!... I'll look into that.... I just want to clarify that its okay to leave the solar kit connected to the battery full time while driving around ( battery being charged by alternator) without any ill effects.
