Wind turbines are perfect when teamed up with solar panels but some wind generators don t support solar panels.
Wind speed is critical to turbine output.
Well suited for the leisure sector it is famous for battery.
Having both solar power which is most efficient on bright sunny days and wind power which can be efficient both on sunny as well as overcast cloudy or stormy days could reap an rver the best of both worlds.
But diyers are clamoring for more cost effective products catered uniquely to the rv community.

This amount of power will easily power an array of appliances and devices with no issue.
Harnessing power directly from the sun isn t the only way to obtain more sustainably sourced energy.
In other words a turbine producing 5 watts of power at 2 mph winds will produce 15 watts of power with 4 mph winds and so on.
You d be hard pressed to spend much less than 1500 to obtain solar panels.
One of the issues with wind is the size of the turbine span.
The use of solar panels and to a lesser degree wind turbines has taken off in the recreational vehicle community.
