Marine Corps Rings

North Carolina home to the Great Smokey Mountains, and one of the beautiful States on the East coast of America, a wonderful place to visit, for a vacation or long week end. The coastal region is full of quaint little towns and inviting beaches where you can wander to your hearts content and dine in some exquisite restaurants.

Visit the Wright Brothers National Park down at Kill Devil Hills, drive a little further south and you will arrive at Cape Lookout National Seashore where you can make use of 70 miles of well kept beaches.

Marine Corps Rings - Camp Lejune.

On the East coast of this wonderful state the Marine Corps base of Camp Lejune is situated close to the town of Jacksonville, a lively little place and derives a lot of its wealth from conducting business with the local marines. On the base itself every facility is made available to the marines and I must say its one of the best manicured marine bases I have been on. On the base you have a year round campsite called "Onslow Beach Campsite and Recreation Area"you have camper spaces and tent spaces with full hook-up for water and electricity.

Marine Corps Rings – Support

Like all bases within the United States and around the world the extended Marine family is well catered for in terms of counselling and medical services. By phoning Tricare on 1800-931-9501 you will get the information you require, the Chapel is there for everyone to use for quiet meditation or to take full advantage of the services given on Sundays and Weekdays.

Marine Corps Rings – Recreation

Like all great creations in this world, you can't create and train a marine unless you offer the some sort of recreation. On Camp Lejune you have fantastic golfing facilities where you can play solo or take part in some of the competitions that take place there from time to time. You can stroll around the Marina and why not do a little fishing if this takes your mind off the daily grind of heavy training. In the theatres you can catch up on some old classics or the latest releases, whatever you want to do can be done here. Visit the library and while away the hours while reading some of you favourite novels or inform yourself about current affairs by reading the daily newspapers left there for your use.

will a 5 watt solar panel charge my 12 volt battery enough to turn on the water pump in my rv?

After reading a ton of info on solar panels for my rv I am even more confused. I don't think I want anything that is technical just the solar panel with the clamps that connect to the battery terminals. I don't have a lot of things in the camper: water pump, water heater (lp heated), 3 lights. I don't spend a lot of time in the camper so how many watts of power would I need to keep my marine battery charged for the week?? (estimated)

A lot depends on total usage of the pump. 5 Watts is at best marginal even for a small pump. A 15 Watt panel would be almost adequate. 30 Watts would likely work the best. This assumes an on demand pump rather than one that holds pressure on the line.

At 30 Watts, you are producing only 2.5 amps on a 12 volt system. This enough to replenish the charge on a fully charged battery in light usage.
