Hi all,

Im looking for a semi portable lightweight & compact solar panel for the D2.

Its for our camping setup and only to keep a 120Ah AGM topped up when running the Engel 40.

I was thinking of a flexible panel like this mounted on a slide out board just under the roof rack ( slide out and put in the sun when camping)
Sunman eArc 185W - Semi Frameless JB On Top (https://www.solar4rvs.com.au/sunman-earc-185w-flexible-solar-panel)

Or an AdventureKings flexible fold up one.

Dont have the space or available Kg spare for those bulky rigid folding panels!

Anyone have any experience with these?

Have a look at the solar blanket panels.
They fold up nice and small and a small 120w should keep a 40l Engle running easilly[thumbsupbig]

I’m also interested in others experience with the folding panels
4Wd Supercentre have a consumer forum on FB
I might have a look at their panels and report back
