LOL! Nope, no "big-rig" solar system like Highlander or Sumner, just a small 10 watt panel stowed below that gets put on deck when required to trickle at anchor or longer stints on the trailer.

Our D/C storage on board is 2x group 24 batteries on a combiner, and for extended trips we add a 3'rd battery isolated from the system (wired to charge only). We don't do too many off-the-grid trips, we have been low but never short on power yet, and sometimes have to restrict use of the 350watt inverter and make power sacrifices like; watch antenna TV instead of DVD's, listen to music using the Ipod through the stereo instead of CD's, etc. (we also have one of those emergency charger packs to start engine should we run out)
