80% planning, 20% work.
Btw, check AM Solar as suggested. I forgot about this place, their products are TAD expensive. BUT, this is one of the few places specialized in RV solar parts. You might not need any of their parts - I didn't. As usual, there are independent contractors and crews that they are keeping in touch with - those are not AM Solar employees. But, they at least do some RV solar installations. Here is the list:http://www.amsolar.com/home/amr/smartlist_47/find_a_dealer.html.
Some planning of your own is still necessary. Like how many panels, what size, which way the wires will be routed, what controller and where you want it.
It's better to know what you want before calling the installer. Doing like it says in one of those reviews in the link "we sent this technician a system, he installed it, and the customer was happy" - this would make me instantly suspicious. What "system"? They don't have any high-voltage panels. And if I were to choose 30A controller, it would be either Rogue or a pair of 20A Chinese knockoffs, and they don't have any of this either.
