Solar panels are a useful addition to help keep your battery topped up. The good news is, fitting one is pretty straightforward. In our case, we chose the Truma 65 Wp SolarSet kit.
First, you need to decide where to mount the panel, bearing in mind that you have to drill a hole in the roof to pass a fairly thick cable. That cable ends up connected to the battery via the control unit. Then, tools required for the job are:
■ Cleaning gear (bucket, sponge, cloths)
■ White spirit
■ Cleaning spray (included in the kit)
■ Drill with 2mm to 12mm bits
■ T25 Torx
