My wife and I recently purchased our first motorhome (Elddis Autoquest) and have, up to now, only stayed at locations with EHU facilities. We are now wondering whether we should invest in a solar battery charging system as it would give us greater flexibility
in our itinerary arrangements and, of course avoid the EHU markup on site fees!

 My wife is disabled and we are both the wrong side of 60. We tend to watch a few hours TV in the evenings which, I guess, could be relevant to our deliberations. However, I really could do with having some  advice/ tips from you more experienced caravanners
out there, giving us some idea of  the pros & cons of solar panel systems  and, indeed, whether a solar panel kit purchase is actually worth the capital outlay before we take things any further.
