Really I am just trying to get away with having to run the engine for average 3 hours a day just to charge, I manage well with my power consumption, never struggle or wish I had more etc, ( maybe sometimes if say your in slob mode and want an evenings telly, instead of 2 hours ) but that's all. i'm surprised you feel like you need more than 400, I'm wondering if it has to do with what sort of panels, cells, type of inverters, lights, age of boats etc that we all have that makes a difference. as I mentioned before some friends only have 1 x 125 panel and they appear to have all that I would need, and they have inverter on all the time, charging laptops, several hours of tv per day, fridge and separate freezer ( I don't have freezer ). It's a huge difference between 125 and 400, I do also have to consider not having to have to many obstacles on my roof, as a single handler, as I don't want to come a cropper and trip up and fall in LOL. Thanks so much Gary for your time, it really does help having these comparisions. Take care both.

I notice there is a huge difference in the amount of wattage people have, varying from 125 to 400, I was just wondering what was your thought process in needing 400 watts. <br /><br />Your drinks and sunbathing day looked very lovely and relaxing. See you soon on the Llangollen.
