Question:

Hi ! We are buying the 2019 JAYCO WHITE HAWK 29FLS travel trailer and want to go totally off grid. What system do you recommend ? It has two 15K air conditioners as well as the standard RV refrigerator. Thanks!

There isn't a particularly simple answer for a solar powered system to go off-grid, because it is totally dependent on how much power you will use per day. I have added a link to a help article entitled "How Much Solar Power Do I Need" that I recommend checking out. It depends on how many amp-hours you use per day and how big your battery bank is.

For example if you used more than 150 amp-hours per day a great kit would be the Go Power Solar Flex Charging System with MPPT Solar Controller - 550 Watt Solar Panels # 34275012.

I have added a link to our selection of solar panels as well as a couple other help articles which I recommend checking out.
