Title: The Boondoctor

ATC Toy Hauler Customizing, Solar & Batteries | The BoonDoctor (https://www.boondoctor.com)

A friend sent me this link. Appears to be some good solar info on the site and an interesting business model. I have no connection to this business.

One good thing about that website is that he's honest about running an air conditioner (https://www.boondoctor.com/knowledgebase/can-you-run-the-ac-off-batteries-and-solar-in-your-rv/) from solar/battery power. "I have 1,600 watts of solar on my roof and I NEVER break even when running the AC unit." With a pair of 100 Ah LiFePO4 batteries (such as Battle Born's), a single air conditioner "will drain the pair in about 80 minutes." With a used Tesla battery module, "about three hours." Anytime somebody asks whether they can run their air conditioner on batteries, that page is a good place to send them.
