New solar set up on my 2005 Lance 820
This is a long post- if you don’t like long posts then “Nothing to see here, move along” I have a 2005 Lance 820. I bought it this spring in PA. I live in NH. I moved to this from a 2006 Northst...
Forum Discussion
To answer a couple of questions about it:
1-
Reply- Not a swipe at anyone specific, at some point in the past I posted something and someone, not sure who, crapped on me for a long, boring post and advised me to keep them short. I was not calling some poor child labor kid names or trying to act superior, it was a humorous way to say most of these are made in the same factory in China, Taiwan, or South Korea. Amateurish install picture- that shows how the wire channels didn't hold up to the wall and is one of the things I'm going to change. I bought 3/4" PVC and will paint it to closely match the fake oak veneer on the wall and then use screws and brackets to hold them in place.
2- The tape holding the wires down does have a gap but it isn't sealing any holes. The wire runs up into the fridge flue and over the lip, then down into that space. As to the wire ties being UV resistant- good question. Cheap enough to replace later. The cables are what was with the kit and are routinely secured to RV roofs so I hope so I guess. The TC stays in a garage when I'm not using it so any UV is significantly less for my baby.
3- Grape from HD- thanks, If I have any issues with the new Renogy I will look into it.

No need to swipe at me. I WAS going to read your complete post. Now I won't.
No need to swipe at the "Chinese kid" as if you were superior. You aren't superior and I'm not. Just human beings. Name calling isn't appropriate.
PS - install looks amateurish...picture 13.
