[QUOTE="Supertramp, post: 547627, member: 17169"] Right, so far... The regulator originally installed wouldn't work very well and kept low voltage alarming. I have a feeling my leisure is kaput, despite only being 6 months old because it's struggling to hold its charge. Regulator has been switched for a different one as a temporary solution until I get home and order the same as Alistair (and a number of other motorhomers). What I can say is that we've been installed a week and I haven't hooked up, the CR50 has kept running and the battery (though not holding charge well) is holding enough to prevent the fridge going into low voltage shutdown. So, 100w and ok regulator is doing what it needs to do. However, we are in Morocco, sun is plentiful and strong. When I get back to the UK my winter project will be a serious solar install, 200w+ as we'll be going for a different interior too. No issues thus far with decreased MPG or wind issues, despite the rigid panel on the poptop. Nor is it too heavy to pop. Happy camper!!! [/QUOTE]
