1. i think its pronounced ren o gee
2. great work and very informative. Thank you much I appreciate your efforts. Happy rving to you and yours.
3. 2 things sir, first a very good video on solar and the second thing. My dad used to take my family (there were 14 kids) to saltnsea and it was a favorite camping site for us in the 60s, so I thoroughly enjoyed the video. It looks like the area has been cleaned up since we were there half a century ago. thanks for the video it brought back some long forgotten memories
4. Depending on how much traveling you do I suggest you use grommets as the plastic covering won't last long
5. Just installed mt 200 Renogy system....almost 10am and will check my output. Fingers crossed for 6,8 amps! Yesterday at 4:30, I was able to get 6.2 amps. Thanks for the tips, need to add the white tape to protect the wires from the outside elements.
6. I just finished my 150 watt setup on my camper van. Ill make a vid and link it. So i can see what you think.
7. It looks like you interrupted (cut) the feed wire so you could get a reading to the volt meter? Would it have made more sense to just have hardwired the multi-meter leads into the feed wire?
8. I'm not sure if you're aware but if you read renogy's warranty it says it's not supposed to be used in mobile applications.
9. What is the purpose of two 6 volt batteries instead of one 12 volt. I have a deep cycle 12 volt on my travel trailer. I don't have room for two 6 volt unless I build an external battery box of some kind.
10. Great video! I'm wondering on the reason for applying the tape before drilling the holes for the mounts - what's the advantage of having the tape? I'm inclined to just follow this same procedure since it looks like a nice result, but thought I'd ask since I am not 100% sure of this step.
11. Hi from panels to charge control panel 30am fuse and 10awg cable? Then cont. box to battery same? And is u have 2 6v in "series" would u also get a third 30amp fuse but to "coach" cable (pos+) ? At 4awg? Does that sound ok? I have renogy 100watt panel 30amp cont. box and 2 6v batt. =12v.. Does that make sense? U are the closest ive found to an answer. On the renogy manual it said "8a" fuse from panels to cont. Box? I have need done this before so im so lost but have a dry camping trip in 3 with 5!!! Kids!!! So they need tv!! Lol. Any info would be so appreciated. Tia.
12. I had that same controller but replaced it after the first week.
13. Why your Renogy cheger controller have not display?
14. how do you like your solar setup did you add to it?  I am going to start out with a 200 w system too.  What would you do different?  anything?
15. That's a very nice quiet spot you found by the water.
16. Let me help - Ren Oh Gee
17. i have a 200watts air conditioner ....i was thinking about purchasing it for it. Is that possible?
18. I thought you added 2 panels. Must have been someone else. Thanks very much for answering all my questions so patiently. I'm learning and I think this 2 panel, 4 battery setup will work just fine for us. Again, thank you. Maybe I will do a vid on my install.
19. I think I can fit 4 6v batteries in 2 cases on my tongue. I'm going to find a way to fit 4 100 watt panels on that roof. If I go bigger than 4 batteries I will have a tongue weight problem. That should be a fairly good setup, right? I know 6 batteries would be better. But I don't think I can make it happen. I have my Yamaha 2000 to fall back on when necessary. I would think I could run my furnace, use a few lights, and watch tv in the evening without hitting the generator. No? Travel trailers are a lot harder to work with than 5th wheels and Class As.
20. Let me get this straight. Two 6v are enough for two 100 watt panels?
