Re: What type of camper are you?
Our Current Skipper Oyster is fine and served us very well but each time we go to a basic camp like Balule , Tsendze and Rooiputs I have to lug a 70 kg Battery pack out of the Bakkie and into the tent so the Cable from the Solar Panels comes inside to charge the Battery which charges the 90 Litre Nat Luna Freezer which I also have to carry into the Tent from the Bakkie !! ..I am 70 soon and that cant go on as I will do an injury. With this new Trailer The same freezer I am keeping goes on a slider and stays in the Trailer..The Old Battery will be placed next to the one that comes with the trailer Identical heavy Deep Cycle Batteries and that is permanently stored in the trailerand self charged when we have electricity and through my old panels when we are in the sticks with no electricity ..2 old farts able to last another 20 yrs camping
2 Deep Cycle Batteries will allow me to make Rooiputs like Las Vegas
Not on your life but if we have 4 days of rain and the panels dont get sun its not an issue

LOL Rich..Yes it is not cheap for just about to be full time pensioners.. Had to sell my Work car (14 yr old Corolla), 2 Lenses , Trade in my Skipper and rape the Pension Fund ..But at 95 I can sell this and put it back into what few cents I have left if any then and ensure my last cheque doesnt bounce
