Solar panels -- how common?

Hi all, I am enjoying all the solar discussions. My wife and I just sold our Colorado home and are toying with full timing it in our 2008 Monaco. We went to Quartzsite, AR in January to the big RV show and was also very disappointed at the lack of solar information. So I took matters into my own hands...having studied solar energy somewhat, I visited the two main solar companies in the town of Quartzsite and investigated their panel and equipment offerings. I ended up purchasing all of my solar equipment in Flagstaff. I was able to install 3) 250W and 3) 140W Kyocera panels. My coach came from the factory with a single 100W panel and pretty decent 30 amp controller so I installed the 3 smaller panels on the front of the roof in place of the 100 watt panel using the existing components. I then installed the 3 larger panels and ran 4 gauge wires down to an unused compartment that I found under the floor in our closet. I made my own panel mounts that raised the panels up about 7 inches so there would be no shadows on them. My coach has the Girard awnings on the passenger side and matching faux awning on the other side, these are heavy duty aluminum and made great mounts for the outside of each panel. From the ground you cannot see anything on the roof.
We have a residential frig in our unit and lots of electric sucking gizmos so I wanted as much power as I could get. Just finished the install a couple weeks ago but have not boondocked with it yet. I have seen 65 amps combined when the sun was not directly overhead and the batteries where not very drained. Time will tell but I am hoping to be able to dry camp for extended stays without use of the gen.

I would love to answer any questions or help anybody out in any way I can. I own a Cessna service center and a small RV repair shop so mechanical diagnosis and repair is right up my alley!

Take care and enjoy this beautiful land of the Free!
