Too bad to change her now, but want to have it a bit lighter inside and wood lam floors. Your redo is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.

I have my own RV, and maintaining it was never enough for me. I have spent a fortune in upgrading the whole vehicle, as I have long considered it my second home.

That really addresses my dilemma. ...Janna and Mike,<br />That really addresses my dilemma. Why rush out and spend $1200 to as much as $2000 dollars on a couple of Solar panels and installation when you already have a little Honda fuel miser generator? The payback would take years and years, and guess what? There are days and areas when and where I don't want to camp in the hot sun... and there are days and areas when and where there are so many trees I can't camp in the sun... and there days and areas when it's so cloudy or rainy there is no sun!<br />My super quiet Honda 2000 works just fine when it's raining, shady, cloudy... whether it's treed or open. So will someone tell me what I'm missing here? Is solar just a "save the planet" thing or an unnecessary luxury. <br /><br />Don't misunderstand... I want solar, just don't want the big cash layout given the above problems.<br />Set me straight, someone!<br />Thanks Janna and Mike, At least now I know I'm not alone :))<br />markBox Canyon Blog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032055509766739436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-54858882930944179262012-10-11T07:23:12.485-06:002012-10-11T07:23:12.485-06:00Looking good!!

That's a good idea about removing the Onan giving you more battery storage--we are on the same page with a Honda and more batteries for now instead of solar. We boondock in the desert of AZ for a couple months, run our little Honda about two hours per day and are good. We don't watch much TV but do run the inverter for router and two computers.

No doubt the purists will take you to task for that.<br /><br />Be sure to get a three-stage charger that puts out 25-30 Amps for that battery bank. (Try West Marine.) Thirty minutes in the morning, thirty minutes in the evening, and even one large solar panel during the day would be great.kaBLOOnie Boonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845667016536890886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-3444855020116219062012-10-08T12:55:28.425-06:002012-10-08T12:55:28.425-06:00Great job!
