I purchased the AutoSleeper Devon that was owned by DrRogerRam last year and on cleaning the roof I noticed that there was no Solar Panel fitted, Can anyone tell if this should be fitted or not. If not what size is recommended. LucyC cold

According to the A-S website, a 30W solar panel is a Premium Pack option, and an 80W panel is a further option.

If you intend to have one fitted, the most appropriate size depends on how you use the van. If you're mainly using sites with EHU then you don't need anything very large, and a 30W panel would be fine to keep battery topped up during winter storage (for example). If you stay away from EHU then (within reason) the bigger the better.

Thank Mojo, I understand that my Devon is fitted with the Premium Pack option and there is a fitting on the roof for the power cable to go through so I can only assume that the solar panel has been removed at some time.
