Re: Solar???

My van is not my daily driver and it's nice that the solar panel keeps all three of my batteries topped up while it sits in the driveway. I have a bi-directional separator, two house batteries and the starting battery.

In this use case, keeping the batteries topped up will extend their lives compared to not having solar. If you drive your van regularly and have ample house battery capacity for a typical camping trip then you may not need it.

...it's also very sunny where I live, so it seems very worth it to me.
