Could this be used from inside of a vehicle or RV (through the window?)

I doubt that this would be practical. When this is unfolded it'sabout 2 X 4 feet. It would be pretty cumbersome to set up in a vehicle unless you have lots of space and a really big window. It needs to be set up to face the sun as closely as possible.

No, I agree with Philip Oleson completely. It is about 4ft when unfolded. It works great with the power dome that I already had (the same one that is offered to buy with this Pannel). It works on car batteries as well. Very easy system to run an set up.

It could work if it is small enough for your autos dash, or back window sill, or hung on a window some how.If some of it's efficiency is backlost, i don't know. I do know trickle chargers for car batteries are made to lay on the dash in the sunlight. My unit did not function for what ever reason, so I sent it back. I liked the design and huge connectors.

Yes, I believe it could, but light loss through the window would reduce the output of the unit, making the charge time longer -- possibly much longer. If any of the cells end up shadowed, the output of the unit will drop considerably. Finally, if the unit cannot be rotated to face the sun as directly as possible, then you may have no more than an hour or so of useful charge time. It doesn't sound promising.

Car/RV windows are polarized.. so I doubt you'd get a good charge.. same reason transition lenses in eye glasses don't trigger.. plus this unit is not small when unfolded.. it would be cramped..

I don't think you would unless you had a big open area to put it because its rather large opened up. It's really more of a sit on the ground thing. If t was a park model with a sliding glass door maybe. That being said there is nothing structurally to keep you from doing it it will work anywhere there is sunshine.

You will get something out of it thru a windows but after having this for a little over 9 months I don't think I would recommend this product. It doesn't produce even close what its supposed to rated for. At best a 30 amp panel and a stupid charge controller... with full sun outside. :-(

Yes, we use ours in our RV. It sits on the dashboard. It is not weatherproof!

Yes sir, it can!!! We actually own two of these. We use one of ours "through the wall" in our front room, and our second one we use "through the window" in our bedroom. They are both fantastic, and extremely reliable!!! I hope this helps.

I haven't used it in that capacity, but I've used it in my noise pumper truck. With the windows open, I could hear clearly and be heard easily. I hope that helps. Our truck drivers really like it.

That might depend on your dog and your car. My dog would not be able too- too far from window. Also this booster seat was sort of flimsy, not as secure looking as in the picture.

Although made for thru window application, this unit can be mounted thru the wall. Plus, it's an awesome unit, we are very happy with ours

you can if you get to the back terminals but the idea is that it's mounted to a secure surface in which you don't have access to the underside. such as through a fiberglass panel, steel plate, auto grill, etc.

yes, as long as there is an air pocket between the window and the plastic you are good to go.

depends on your windshield reflection and how close you are to the window. when you are far from the window you can not see the inside of the car but when you are close to the window (on the driver seat for example) then you can see outside through the window Regards, Ori

It is a flat board, and unless your window has an overhang you can't use there. There is zoom flexibility in its purpose.

Hey Larry~you sure can, like if you want to use your smartphone's GPS? Works great for that feature. This fits in the "AC vent of your vehicle". Hope this helps in your decision making process ;)

Yep. For us, we slide open the window once we're parked in our RV, stick it to the outside and then can see it anytime we want from the inside. It's easy to read. I just get it damp to stick it now cause the normal stickiness wore off after a few uses, but it stays put fine.

There is no reason it couldn't be placed outside a window for short periods but I'd recommend only doing it while it's in use. It is not weatherproof so any moisture could harm it. Also, sun for prolonged periods of time will deteriorate the plastic and make it brittle. I use mine at work and place it in the inside corner of our storefront window and it works fantastic. I'm using it now! I also have used it in my car. My point being that the window glass seems to have no adverse effect on signal strength so if you can, just mount it inside.

I would think it would work. With my application, it was on an exterior window unit so with the light you can see through it a little more than if it was an interior window.

This was intended for use in the home, not in a car. I'm not sure if it could be used in a car, sorry.

Yes, you could use the bracket inside or hang it in a window and see if you can get all your channels. Mine did pretty good inside, but reception was excellent on my roof, so that's where it is now.
