The detectors on off switch in the video was installed a couple years ago.
This prevents battery drain from the carbon monoxide and smoke detectors.?
The Harbor Freight controller provides an on and off switch for the power
coming in from the solar panel as well as a fused load outlet via cigarette
lighter. The Lance camper has a resetting 40a circuit breaker already in
the cable running to the battery, so this allows me to connect my 10 ga
wire from the battery to the controller. It is a 45 watt package from
Harbor freight, but I am using the three 15 watt panels on another project
(solar can heater) and I purchased the 55 watt panel separately that is
mounted on the roof of my camper,(sorry in the vid I mistakenly said it was
50 watt). The thought is to de-rate the panel on the roof by about 20
percent to make up for the inefficiency of mounting the panel flat and
not angling the panel at the sun.(I live in northern Utah, If you live
closer to the equator I would not recommend this) I also purchased a 45
watt panel and fabricated a stand and frame for durability, that I can hook
directly to my battery if I anticipate a longer stay than 4 nights.
