In need of Solar Installation Advice

**rickst29** · 02-13-2006, 07:13 PM

Hello everyone,

I have an order for a new 2619 in progress right now (the deposit is already down) but I would love to get some advice from those of you who have installed Solar Panels.

For 2006, Trailmanor now offers a factory-installed 80-watt Solar Panel system. But, it looks like everyone here agrees that this won't be anywhere near sufficient to keep the batteries up (even under the best of sunlight conditions).

I'll be talking with them about their standard installation tomorrow. (I'm guessing that they put on a just a single 2x4 footer, whether on the front shell or squeezed onto the very back of the rear shell I don't know).

But, I really want to know where you all have placed your panels, what issues developed, and what you'd recommend for a 150+ watt installation.

Thanks in advance!
Rick Stockton, Reno NV

I needed to pay my few bucks and become a "Sponsor" in order to see the "hidden" Solar Power forum.

Thanks for your pointers!
