A VERY SERIOUS review of the BougeRV 120 Watt 9BB Solar Panel!!
This is a struggle between the Prola-trailer-iot and the BougeRV and a story that we can all live in harmony with love and respect if we share solar panels.

@untetherednomad6393 2 года назад

Well, that was a great video! And I am at same point on the fabric folding 100w panels by the orange company. I am a FT nomad and my two orange 100w folding panels are not aging well. My old school heavy glass panels are 4 yo and still going strong. I was looking at the BougeRV panel and this video was the decider in my decision to order. Now I just need to unload my faded orange company panels...

@BexCatherder 2 года назад

I've had 2 1/2 of those floppy panels die. One of them only puts out half power, but 1 1/2 panels is enough to max out the input. Which always made me wonder why they didn't just make a 150 watt panel so I don't have to fiddle with two of those things. Glad to just use a single panel from now on.

@BexCatherder 2 года назад

Hey there pretty lady!! This is a really good panel and it's been my go-to panel since I got it. Just got a huge 2000wh battery so I might need another to charge it up. It really needs a minimum of 200 watts to charge. The only thing that I'm not sure about is that it doesn't have any glass or other protection on the panel itself and although I try to be careful, it has some scratches now.

@untetherednomad6393 2 года назад

I purchased the BougeRV briefcase noted here. My first impressions are it is very light compared to my GZ 100w Nomad briefcase, but the BougeRV briefcase also seems to be somewhat flimsy construction IMO, legs are whimpy, hardware is loose. The mc4 to APP cord was only 2 ft long and wires exposed from back of panel to the MC4 adapter, different gauge thinner from panel output to the adapters output cables. The Mc4 to 8mm core was twice as long. I am a ft nomad and have GZ panels, Jackery SS panels and now the BougeRV briefcase. I suspect the GZ aum/glass will outlive them all.

Floppy is not preferred but sometimes it's all that's available for the cost.

@BexCatherder 2 года назад

Some of the floppy panels are far overpriced in my opinion. This panel is much cheaper than the floppy panel that failed and I replaced. I can't complain too much because I did get test products for free, but I have always preferred the solid panels because my Renogy 100 is going strong after 5 years and more than a few tosses across the desert from dust devils. :-)

@kevinshea4776 2 года назад

Hey Bex, Why don't full-timers use portable wind turbines like sailboats use, for when the sun is not shinning and there is plenty of wind? Seems like a great way to assist the charging! I asked CVK this question and he didn't know why?

@BexCatherder 2 года назад

This is just my opinion. Wind turbines need a certain wind speed before they even begin creating energy. The lowest I've ever seen was 12mph but another turbine I saw needed a minimum wind speed of 17mph. That's a lot of wind and it's not that common in many places. Also, wind turbines need to be carefully packed to not damage or bend a blade. And they are much bigger than a simple solar panel. Not something someone wants to put up and take down with regularity. So wind turbines are much better for a more permanent installation.

@kevinshea4776 2 года назад

@@BexCatherder totally agree with your opinion. However, I’ve seen some DIY units that folks have setup for camping. I think the wind speed can be there and just surprised I haven’t seen a mast assembled on a vehicle towing hitch or trailer bumper once in camp, since following RV boon docking RU-vid channels. I think the mini version that sail boats would be perfect to compliment a solar array setup for cloudy , winter days as an alternative. Thank you!
