Rice that's easy before solar install in April '16' we fulltimed since 2014 and part time (7 months a year since 2012). Using That time period paying daily, weekly and monthly rates.
Dispersed camping
2016 (4/16 - 12/31) 200 days
2017 (1/1 - 12/31) 365 days
2018 (1/1 - 8/9) 220 days
Using previous years of rving (fulltiming) prior to solar install (4/13/16), RV park cost averaged to $25.00 a day.
443 days of dispersed camping needed for return on solar. Since Aug last year system has paid for itself.
As I said in the other post a properly installed system just operates in the background day after day and certainly don't miss walking out the door looking at someone's septic pipe and slide outs within touching distance.
Peace and quiet.
