First, great information. If you have just started RVing, it seems like you jumped into this with much thought. One problem I see is most of your RVing will be in RV parks that have 30 and 50 amp service. Just how much off the grid camping are you doing that requires 400 watts of free (free?) power? Also remember you need to make sure your solar panels are aimed to the south for the best collection. Some parks are either in the trees or at a parking angle that would not work. Of corse your not in a park, so I guess you can park at any angle you like. Seems to me that an inverter would be enough for most people. Tell us how much it cost to add all this to get this free power. At $650 per panel, a $1500 inverter and all the other add one, your looking at $5000. That makes the kph cost very expensive. By the way, I have a 100w panel myself. I found it on the freeway.
