How to fit Solar Power To A Motorhome For Off Grid Living - 480 Watt Solar Panel, Victron MPPT & AGM

Solar power for off grid living is essential and even more for bugout.
I upgraded my motorhome camper bugout vehicle to a full solar powered system powering a 12v system and all 230v appliances whist being off grid.
In this Motorhome Solar Panel Installation, I fit new Photonic Universe solar panels, Victron MPPT controller, 1500Watt power inverter and two AGM 110AH batteries.
I this motorhome solar panel system I show the installation methods and equipment used to give 420 watts of solar and run all normal household appliances.
I will cover:
Motorhome solar panel fitting and installation.
Fitting the victron mppt controller.
Solar inverter installation.
Fitting the AGM batteries

The overall cost of this installation was £1250, the biggest expense being the Victron MPPT controller at £300 and the AGM batteries at another £300.
Solar panels were £270 and the mounting bracket kits were £44 for two sets.
The 1500 watt pure sinewave inverter was £170.
Accessories like the 8gauge cable, sikaflex, switches, fuses and odds were another £150.
