G'Day All,
I'm a dummy when it comes to this stuff so hopefully someone can provide some info. I can't find the info I want in the archives or internet.

1. I'm looking at getting solar power with the new Avan, it comes with an optional 50 amp solar panel. My question is, is a 50 amp panel big enough to recharge the vans battery during the day, when lights are on at night, music playing, etc. Looking at sitting in one place for 1-3 days then moving on.
I know 2 x 50 amp panels would be better, but is that an overkill / waste of money etc.

2. How do you wire up a third battery (van battery) to be charged by vehicle when on the move. Is it from the vehicles second battery. If so, does another isolator have to be installed between the second and third battery etc etc

Cheers
Shawn
