It was something that always ran through my mind ever since I got the deep cycle battery. Just means I dont need to run anderson plugs in the car, but if I wanted to get a dual cab later, I can get a DCDC charger and mount the panels on the ute or whatever for continuous charge.

BCF had a special for members for the XTM 160w panel kit for $219. I had a $20 gift voucher which I used and got them for under $200.

Bear in mind this isnt the solar blanket, but rather the hard folding panels. I have heard they seem to last a bit longer than the blanket despite the weight and inconvenient size.
