    Any one know what size solar panel I would need to charge a single battery for my pop up camper?

    What size battery? Voltage and Amp Hours?

    As gnihcraes asked, how fast do you want it to charge? FYI, a panel laid flat on the roof of a camper will not provide it's full rated output, so charging will take longer than expected based on panel rating.

    I'll have to look. Might go with a golf cart style battery. Im not sure what came with the camper. I know the light are powered by it, but not funtional. So might as well up grade.
    Are you saying you will get better power from a panel if its on a stand as to being flat?
