All power came from a 250 Watt solar panel which is more than enough in summer. In winter it was always a challange.
I can relate to this. We have a VW Vanagon (aka Westy) similar to yours on which we had installed a 190W solar panel to power an electric fridge, power inverter and a few other things. You start thinking about where you're parking relative to trees, angle of the sun in order to maximize charging.
This is a stupid geeky question but did you have a battery monitor and a charge controller with monitoring capabilities to have more info or did you just get by with more basic things like battery voltage?
