[QUOTE="Pedro the Gold, post: 187930, member: 2826"] An update on my above posts re: Solar Panel mal-function on my Troopy High-top BushMaster..... Thanks to Condor/others : yep, the panel was u/s .... as you commented. Original panel on the Troopy High-top was 190 watts, has now been replaced by a 200 watt unit which is currently out-putting 20.3V to my AGM [house] battery, functioning perfectly with no load @ 14.3V ................... Unit was approx. $200 only, delivered free from Melbourne to the Sunshine Coast - and very prompt. In the process of hooking up my 55 litre fridge freezer to it - anticipate no further problems !! Have also mounted an LED 120W Light Bar to the leading edge of the panel , also operating from this battery' But remotely switched only and not connected to my vehicle high beam lights. Gives me the option of 'boosting' my high beam, at my discretion, great for crawling through the bush at night-time. Don't do this often though, but very handy to have. Great advice from all - am once again a happy camper/prospector ..................... [/QUOTE]
