So I spoke to Joe the owner of Trillium Outback Trailers to make sure it was o.k. to post up the pics of his shop the above link should bring you to the photobucket build pics of our outback I appologize they are not in order but I'm not the most computer savvy guy lol there might be a few doubles as well . I will post up some pics of the interior when I get a chance . Joe told me that they have moved to a new shop with 3 times the space since these pics were taken . If you have any questions feel free to ask , cheers mike

Morning all , we were asked the question how do you like the solar system so I'll give the responce a quik try , we love it it's absolutely quiet , silent power that you never have to think about we tried to calculate our power usage for the trailer and bought a system that we figured would supply us with at least 25% more than what we would need the draws for our trailer were listed above in amp hrs . It takes up alot of space on the roof but you forget that it's there .
The unpowered sites we have found to average $5-$10 cheaper , and a system like ours installed is around $1000 . We opted for the dual 6 volt batteries which we have not as of yet run down under half . Please note a solar system just charges your battery bank and will not run your air conditioning system .
We went out hunting last november and using lights ( led ) and the 3ft fridge continuosly and running the furnace from 2100-0700 to keep the trailer at 21c whilst it was -15c outside overnite 100 miles out in the bush . We used 5lbs of propane a night 4 days on a 20lb tank and were hunting for 7 nights so had to use a spare 20lb tank . We never worried about power while my buddy had to leave his honda 1000 watt generator on for countless hours everyday and although it's quiet when your not near civilization this noise quikly becomes a pain in the uh! ears . At first we were alway's checking the controller to see how much we were drawing or charging now we don't bother it seems are batteries are fully charged before lunch is even done . Hope the insight helps , cheers mike
