The Salmon, Snake and Clearwater Rivers are all close and accessible . The panels are going to be mounted flat so they don't get damaged with road missiles, so I won't get 100% efficient as when ya mount at an angle relative to the noon day sun, But it will be enough. I have a new set (2) of group 27 deep cycle batteries and would going to say 4 6volt cart batteries, or the L16 batteries? Answers I will need to work out, but for now I am using 4 month old 27's as they were not cheap and I don't buy cheap, that is very expensive, cheap.Cederqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05603951063463035196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307322303758388123.post-33269710190645396962020-06-30T15:24:08.246-07:002020-06-30T15:24:08.246-07:00I think you will like the 2 panels.

I love to boondock camping and fishing and stay for a few days. It will keep my batteries charged so I don't have to use a generator like my Honda 2000. I have used the folding temp style and it does okay, but not really enough to keep two batteries charged. I have replaced all my incandescent lighting with LEDs and of course when I camp I don't take the computer or watch TV, Why? I am out to relax, you can't relax with electronics.
