Rustler,
No need to convince me on MPPT. If and when I do solar I will go MPPT immediately. I want the most AH from the smallest panel, with the shortest sunlight period, even in partial shade. Trying to save a hundred bucks with PWM is not my way of thinking. Real estate for panels is limited, storage space is limited, and trailer positioning in wide open space is not desirable. Ergo I will opt for MPPT. Saving controller money so you can buy another panel may be OK on a house, but not on a camper IMO. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it![Wink]( "Wink")
