I think I'm better off with a small camping gas generator
It would be about the same amount of money if not less
Rain 🌧🌦or shine ✨😎

I have a 270 watt Panel and a 30 AMP MPPT charge controller I use on my travel trailer that I use to recharge the 200AH of 12V deep cycle FLA batteries. Paid $165 for the panel and another $130 for the charge controller. Works great for me. Last week in Sequoia I was producing 12.4 amps at 14.6 volts (180 watts) at 8:30 in the morning. My batteries were fully recharged around noon after being used most of night for heat. Heater (propane with 12V fan) turned on at 1 AM and ran about 1/2 the time until about 7 AM. Outside temp got into the 30s.

And would hate to buy something off the internet that would fall short of my situation. Maybe a video would have helped showing deep cycle battery being charged with regular battery charger plugged into the controller or a live demonstration from a salesmen

At the same time a 6amp and a 10amp and charging two batteries at once. And don't solar panels use a battery to store power that eventually goes bad.

To go any faster the bottom starts flexing to much

The controller goes straight to your battery. No extra charger needed. No gas, no fumes, no neighbors complaining about generator noise.
