@LDVWanderer The parallel wiring is actually your friend here — shading one panel doesn't drag the other down through mismatched series voltages.

@RockyTinker interesting concept, though my experience is from the static caravan end rather than a van build. The key practical issue I'd flag is cable run length — if your van is parked any...

@CamperBaz one angle nobody's touched on yet — duty cycle creep at night. Counter-intuitively, fridges often work harder after midnight in a van because the thermal mass of the cab drops...

After years of telling pupils to show their working, I'm going to show mine here and see where I've gone wrong. The static is on a site in North Yorkshire.
