Solar install on a Lance 1181
Considering purchase of the solar panel for our recent 1181 purchase. Lance quotes me a price of $658 _m crating & shipping for the 90 watt setup that was an OEM option on the '11 model. The unit 1s ...

Well, after spending more than a couple hours the past 2 mornings on handybob's blog I have come to the conclusion that I would indeed be spending BIG BUCK$ on either of my 2 brainstorms, buying the gro$$ly over priced 95 watt panel from Lance or the even more expen$ive dealer installed quote and probably wind up with a mediocre glorified and gro$$ly overpriced trickle charger in the end.
Seems as though I could purchase 2 100 watt "kits" for the same price as ONE of those priced by Lance.
This, after reading some of the horror stories Bob related to in his blog,
has led me to think I better do some more reading/research on the subject and relegate this brainstorm to the back burner for now or until such time as I feel comfortable diving into this project on my own. If past experience has taught me anything it is that I usually wind up with the feeling I am working on and trying to find parts for a Desoto or an Edsel!
Appreciate the tips and direction guys!!
