It did free up a lot of counter space. Not sure what they cost, I think the SMEV stove/sinks go for around $500 but I did some trade work with the builder that built my camper for it. I did a bunch of work to their GMT400 truck and they remodeled my galley and installed the solar panel on the roof. On the other hand, the solar system was pretty inexpensive. $200 for the 100W panel, charge controller, wiring, etc. Not a bad deal. I’m not sure how many days I will get but I’m hoping for endless days with sunshine.
The truck actually has 3 batteries. A chassis start battery on the RH side of the radiator support, a camper/winch battery on the left side then another camper battery in the camper. The camper battery under the hood and inside the camper are tied to each other. There is also an isolator to separate the two camper batteries from the chassis battery.
