I like the fact that there's 140w solar STANDARD, FROM THE FACTORY! I still can't figure out why ONE company here doesn't offer an "off-grid" or "boondock" package, with factory-installed solar and extra batteries; maybe even larger holding tanks. I know, I know; got some bad weed years ago and it still causes flights of fancy...

I would suspect that it's not offered here because it's very expensive. "Most" new RV'ers aren't experienced and go for full hookups to begin with. As they "mature", they find out about boondocking and the advantages of it. We've boondocked for years but it wasn't until our fifth RV that we finally installed solar. It was very expensive because we had a dealership do it for us. We would never go back to not having it.
Boon docking is very much more common in Australia.So Solar, Lithium batteries, specialised suspensions are everywhere
Nice. Thank you.
