Electrical / Solar Upgrade

Hello All

Looking for recommendations on updating my stock 06 EB Sportsmobile with more modern electrical / solar. Like to change out my old Specialty Concepts solar controller, add a inverter and upgrade my battery charger.
Any recommendations? I currently have a single 100 watt renolgy panel.

Thanks

Mike

Might consider looking at these threads - each has a some good info - This is more about how/what panels may be beneficial - doesn't answer all you questions, but may influence how you currently envision your upcoming changes:

I to am looking to do some electrical work. I have a new 355W panel and am going to need to go to an mppt controller, but tracing the wires from the existing pwm to the electrical area is a mess. I don't really want to pull all the walls out if I don't have to.

Try Victron controllers. All of their products are top of the line with good customer support. You can link them to your phone to get reading of watts, amps, SOC..etc
Also try Overland Solar if you need panels. They even work good with part shade.
