Solar power can open up a lot of possibilities for where and how you camp in your RV, Travel Trailer, or Caravan. Most modern RV manufacturers offer an "offgrid package" or solar power option, but you may be wasting a lot of money by choosing that option! In this video, I'll show you how you can get more than twice the power at less than half the cost by building your own solar power system instead of purchasing the option from the RV manufacture.

The manufacture's option would have only given me 400W of solar panels, 200Ah/2560Wh of 12V batteries, and a 2000W inverter, at a cost of over $8,000!

I built my own system with 1200W of solar panels, a 100Ah/5120Wh 48V battery, and a 3500W inverter for only $3500!
