Not sure 45 watts cuts it for a blender. You will also need an additional auxiliary battery. The panels your talking about are a bit flimsy, I use them on my greenhouse. My 2 cents.

I've checked in before with comments and continue to be interested in the use of solar to provide power in my '69 Westfalia to run a stereo, blender or computer. Harbor Freight offers a 45 watt kit (panels and hookups) for $230 and 750 watt inverter for about $40. Curious is anyone has purchased this unit or could offer advice. Thanks!

Be careful with that that contact paper idea, that fake wood interior actually has a value to it, there is someone out there selling it so try to repair it first.

Thanks ! the charger does battery number 1 and once done moves onto number 2. Depending on my useage, I might add another panel, maybe one that tilts like the original poster. Now if I could only figure out an easy way of re/laminating the interior surfaces, I have a lot of lifted/partially lifted fake wood in the van - I'm contemplating covering it with contact paper or something like that.

This seems awesome, I just started looking at 120 watt SOLAR PANEL 120W 12V system - FREE SHIPPING ! on Ebay from Texas and one would need a charge controller too like a 30amp? What else is needed for a full set-up?
