Solar Removal (advice/ideas)
Hello, Everyone! It's that time to make the transition to a new rig for a new adventure! This means I am removing my system to transfer to the new rig. Soooo Regarding the panels on the roof...

Any buyer who has even a little understanding of RVs, camping, etc should appreciate/value that your RV has solar.
Put it in your ad:
"Includes 1yr(?) old solar system! 400w(?) so you can camp/live off the grid. Keeps your batteries charged so you never have to worry about dead batteries while camping or while in storage."
This assumes you have a very basic and small solar system.
One caveat to the above....if you just installed a $4000, $5000, $10000 solar system with all the bells and whistles and new expensive batteries and controller and inverter...and your RV would otherwise only be worth $15-25k, then yes probably whoever buys it will NOT appreciate/value all those bells and whistles and it might make sense to start pulling things.
Can you give us details on your overall system?
Did you do the install yourself? If you did, then you can probably install on your next rig fairly efficiently. I'm also a big fan of using used panels that can be had for 70-80% below the cost of new panels and therefore save a ton of money.
Good luck!
