So I think all my questions were answered now (or I found in other threads) except for :
3.) Is there room in the CA 23A to add in an inverter and additional batteries / solar?
You would probably have to remove the generator and/or do some significant modifications. The battery box fits a single Group 32 battery. Also, the configuration of the roof with three vent domes, shower dome, sewer vents(x2), fridge vent, RTAC leave very little contiguous real estate left for an array of solar panels substantial enough to offer any benefit.
You have to remember that these vehicles are purpose built for a rental mission and are designed with economy already in mind. There is plenty of opportunity to modify if you are creative, but the cost to do such modifications will greatly outweigh the benefit in very short order.
Bghouse, I have the exact same items on top of my Sunseeker 2300. I installed 2x 100 watt and 2x 50 watt panels, each far enough away from objects so as not be shaded at a 45 degree angle. I could have put quite a bit more up front where the antenna could shade them if it was cranked up. 300 watts does an EXCELLENT job for my two batteries.
If you search posts older than one year, Tech Forum, my username, keyword solar, you should find a post showing the sketch I drew of my roof. It shows how to plan the locations where you can put solar without too much shading. I am confident the 23A would have enough usable space.
