Question:
Will the RS97VR 800-watt kit keep my batteries charged while boondocking for a week in Colorado?

Expert Reply:
Absolutely, Tom. The Rich Solar RV panel kit # RS97VR 400-watt output is perfect for multi-day boondocking trips. One customer, Debra from Durango, ran her microwave, 12V fridge, and lights for a 5-day dry camp in San Juan Forest without dropping below 12.3V on her 400Ah lithium bank.
If you’re planning extended stays, we recommend ensuring your battery bank matches the system's potential, at least 400Ah. If you’re unsure, we’d be happy to walk you through a power audit.
