geting close to getting one, seen some neat permanent mounts on roof
but for now may try a 'suitcase' model. towsure do a 13w output for
just over a ton, and seen equiv at maplins for about 55 quid. looking to
top up battery on non hook up sites and rallies, really trying to avoid a
heavy smelly generator. have a second battery for emergency use and
plan is still to charge it in car on days out either mounted under bonnet
or in box in boot. any opinions if solars are worth it. maplin reckon a 13w
will make about 800mA.
