100W Solar Portable Solar Kit For Tear Drop Travel Trailer With 12V Lights And Water Pump

Question:
I just got a nice teardrop travel trailer. Need solar now. Can this panel charge while I’m using my 12V lights or water pump?

Expert Reply:
Absolutely, Brenda. That’s the beauty of solar; the etrailer Portable Solar Panel 100W # E28VV can charge your battery while you're using power, so that you’re actively replenishing what you use during the day. Just keep in mind that the panel produces a max of 4.8 amps in full sun, so if you’re drawing more than that while camping, your battery might still gradually drain. But for light use, this panel does a great job of keeping up.
What teardrop camper is this going on? Is it already prepped for solar on the side of the trailer?
