Hi 49Chubber,

I use the Unisolar 64w unbreakable PV's on my RV. They work very well, about $325 eh delivered. In full sun I get 15vdc @ 4amps. Cloudy 2amps. I would not get less than a 32w PV or you won't have enough usable amps for the demand.

You will also need a charge controller, about $35/$50

Then you will need a storage battery for lites. If your not going to use the lites more than 8hrs/day then one 105amp battery deep cycle will do, about $70 at Wal-mart (yellow case battery's only). You do not want maintance free deep cycle battery's. Also pick-up #12 RV extension cord and use this for your wiring.

Next head to Camping World and buy a 12vdc flourscence lite for RV's. A dual 18" tube will lite up a good sized area, about $35 eh.

You don't need a battery AC charger as the PV will charge your tractor battery's.

Take a look at the below website for all kinds of solar parts and great info.
