RV Solar Panels

You can pick up a champion 2000 inverter generator for approximately $500. Even with solar you'll probably want a generator of some sort so as mentioned, it's probably a good option for part time off grid use.

As for solar cost, I can't say for installation as I did all mine myself, but for parts I'm almost right at $3000 dollars for 10 X 100 watt grape panels for a thousand watts total. Timetric 2030 controlling 2 SC2030 charge controllers, 600 watt and 2000 watt pure sine wave inverters with remotes, 2 auto transfer switches and an isolation relay for the converter, 2 home made combiner boxes, fuses, switches and wiring, and 4X6 volt 230 amp hour flooded golf cart batteries. I fabricated all the brackets myself, made the battery box out of a tote, and had some of the wiring and hardware on hand.

Oh. If you only dry camp once in a while then a small inverter generator with a good bank of batteries might be a better economic path....and I'm a solar supporter.

Sorry, I should have said that I need to have it installed. I would need to factor that into the cost.

Long Beach? You can pick up great panels from SolarBLVD in Norco and save huge on shipping.

Compare price per watt. These are big so get up and measure the space you have. Do not get too close to shade items such as A/C, vents, satellite, antenna etc.

Then choose how many and a controller to match the power and voltage.

Sounds like you are installing yourself. Think solar system not just panels.....controller, inverter, batteries, panels, wiring and wiring route from panels to controller and controller to batteries. Do an amp audit first. I'm a WindyNation customer but others are good too.
