I didn't think you were Loren. With the cost of solar dropping so much
like it has someone mounting a panel on the main part of the roof can
easily afford a larger panel than before. I wouldn't buy anything
smaller than an 80 watt for that reason. For just another $40-60 you can
bump that up to 100-120 watt so if you have room on the roof why
wouldn't you do it? That is for people with electric only fridges
though. Otherwise you don't need so much so why make the top heavier to pop?

The alternator charging topic is a bit nuanced and complicated so I will
leave it alone at this time since I am supposed to be outside working on
some van projects.
