Re: Power in the bush
I have a TENESOL 90 W panel fitted under the roof rack on a custom made bracket. Also have a STECA PR 1010 digital regulator that has realy made the differance. Now I am able to manage the power consumtion. Hole system is wired through the regular. No I can see the input and the demand.
