Great 200 Watt system for Van Conversion

I wish I would’ve went with his system from the beginning. I purchased the 200 watt system. After getting everything figured out and installed this system has been running on its own in my driveway in a test mode now for over a week. I’ve been running a medium sized portable 55qt. refrigerator set at 30 degrees on 12v continually, and an exhaust fan (during the day only) plugged into the auxiliary outlets that I have rewired to run on the auxiliary batteries. It is able to keep up with the fan running on high, and the refrigerator in direct sunlight throughout the day. The app showed 100% battery level during peak sunlight. This is fantastic for me because I want to be off the grid while camping. I would highly recommend this system for an entry level RV addition. Don’t waste your time with harbor freight solar panels or any of that junk they sell. It was a big waste of money for me. That junk left me with a dead battery on my van with my previous setup. You get what you pay for came to mind. So I went all out to build a independent system to power all my needs while camping. All the parts you need to swap your E series Ford van you can get on Best Buy. I installed a switch to connect the auxiliary batteries to the vans main battery to recharge in a pinch, this was a great addition as a back up as most RVs have this in their system anyway. The battery boxes are for the diesel version of E350 found on Ebay. The batteries you can get for almost half price at Costco. I supplied some photos of what I did. It works great bottom line! I got everything in the box from Renogy as promised, not as some have complained about in their reviews. Plenty of cable is supplied to do just about everything you need. The Bluetooth app is a welcome edition. Great job Renogy!
