Where to start with solar power?
Assume I know nothing about solar power in a RV. Yea, that's pretty close. I have a 2007 Gas Safari Simba, 38'. I am 11 months from retiring, while we won't be full timers, at least not yet, we plan...

In my opinion, that is a ridiculous price. PV panels can be found for about $1 per watt. A very good MPPT charge controller is around $500. Cables and miscellaneous may be $100. $4300 for installation seems excessive to me. Solar installation is not a difficult if you are into DIY projects. My 650 watt system cost me about $1300 installed (by me). That said, the initial learning curve can be a bit steep if not into electronics.
I suppose I should add... If including a new battery bank, inverter, and/or elevated structure of PV mounting... that $4300 may start to make more sense.
