Solar panels

Regardless of what you decide to go with, one consideration that should enter your calculation is the security of your situation. A few years ago I was camping on BLM land along the Colorado River north of Yuma. An adjacent camper relayed stories about low life's stealing generators and solar panels in the southwest, particularly in the southern California/Arizona area. He had lost a generator that had been chained down with 3/8" hi test chain and knew of specific folks who had lost solar panels. (not third or fourth hand stories) I was using 2 135W panels on the ground so I paid particular attention. Depending on how far from neighbors you camp and where, it might be something you need to consider. I'm using 6 panels on my Bus but moved them to the roof quicker due to what are evidently not isolated instances.
