Category: Electrical System

While our 1970 Avion C11 was originally built to run on a combination of propane and shore power, our truck camper now runs 100% on electric power.  We manage this with an extensive array of solar panels and two large LiFePO4 batteries that we assembled ourselves.  This project has been a long and heavily researched process culminating in us assembling the entire system ourselves.  With this power infrastructure, we are able to live off-grid for long periods of time.

Compare solar panels: mounted vs. unmounted, solid vs. flexible, their manufacturers, dimensions, laminate, and junction box placement.
