I met today with the mechanic at the place I bought my RV from, and he seems cooperative with me bringing him the parts and he doing the installation. Also, he seemed to have a solid understanding of how the RV electrical system functioned and how to incorporate the solar into it without taking an excessive amount of time. He gave a lot of advice and seems to be comfortable working with the ideas that I gleaned from this forum. So I will go with him, and I will let you know how well he performs.
We measured the roof and I can easily fit (2) 24v 300 +/- watt panels up there for starters.
So based on what I learned here I will be starting with (2) 24v 300+/- panels (600+/- total watts) with MPPT 45 or 60 amp controller to (2) 300 ah Lifeline 6v batteries (total 300 ah) to 2000w inverter?? Probably need to include a battery meter as well.
