| Coffeemaker (average 0.15 day) | 50 | |||
| Blender (average 0.15 day) | 12 | |||
| Toaster (average 0.15 day) | 60 | |||
| Vacuum (average 0.15 day) | 35 | |||
| Curling Iron (average 0.15 day) | 3 | |||
| Blow Dryer (average 0.15 day) | 125 | |||
| Total amp hours per day | ||||
Step 2 - Calculate your total weekly amps
Multiply total amps hours per day by the number of days per week (i.e. weekend camping: multiply
total amp hours x 2 days, full-time camping: multiply total amps per day x 7 days).
_____________ amps per x ______________# of days of use per week = ________________ total amps
Step 3 - Find the perfect solar panels for your RV
