Looking through the pictures of "updating olga" I note that the onan was removed, a solar panel and a windmill installed. How does the electrical system work? What battery amp hour capacity is being used? How well does the charging work? Or is the system not designed to be off-line for more than a day or so?
Lots of questions I know but I'm intrigued, as that is the direction I am planning on. No generator, small wattage usage, (ac only when plugged in) etc.

The idear is that I should be able to boondock for quite some time
The onan was not there when i got her

There is 280 Amp/hr of deepcycle batteries a 70A/1600W charger/240V-Converter for quick charging and serving the misses kitchenaid

The Solar I have seen giving 4,5 A in my northern country ( note that 1 is adjustable)
The windmill can give a other 4 A

All lightning will be LED and the fridge is 3 way
There will be no tv
There will be the car radio and the ipads

Yes AC only when connected to mains

I figure ( without having done the math) that we will have no problems unless ther is a couple of weeks with no sun and no wind. and then we will be gone anyway

But I have not have the change to try her out realy

Yesterday I sold the house per 1 if july and we will be of then to spend the winter in a better climate

Just have to make Olga happy again
