I used to be a little intimidated with the thought of adding solar. I wasn't sure about putting holes in my roof. I also wasn't sure about how to run the wiring. I asked my RV mechanic once how he would do it and he said they usually route the wires down through the refrigerator exhaust vent. Recently I did a refrigerator repair (replaced the cooling unit) and when I had the refrigerator out I saw how easy it would be to route the wires.
Solar will be a project very soon. I already purchased a 200w WindyNation system. I've got 200AH bank and an Aili monitor which has proven to be a great monitor so far.

Solar was relatively easy for me - though instead of hard-wired version, I went with quick connect/disconnect foldable panels. I store my RV under cover so panels need to be outside. I think it is better setup that way - I put them up when/where needed and then fold them up and put them in the back storage.
