Solar Panels

I live in SoCal. We only dry camp in our 260. I have two 6v batteries. I use one solar panel to keep the batteries fully charged. However, I must run the generator when using the microwave oven and/or watch satellite TV.

Just interested, how long can you watch TV with the batteries and panel? You must be able to watch for a couple of hours right?

Response to TV Question

Actually, just under two hours. It kinda depends on the time of day and brightness of the sun.
