congrats on the new RV and new addition to the household.:)
As for tires, check out the airforums.com as more and more folks are ditching the Goodyear marathons, especially, and going with a Michelin LT tires in the 16" size to almost eliminating the tire blow out issue you can experience with the ST tires..
I know there are a lot of folks that have used GM for years with no problems and that is good.. if you change them every 3-4 yrs, then no problem for the most part. With LT tires many are going 6-7 or more yrs with no issues and lot of OTR miles.
On the solar panels you might want to check out Handy Bobs Solar.

Here's a guy that installs or used to install, works on (not so much now), and lives on solar everyday all day in Montana, yes montana.
So, Read and read and then read again, I have been through the site at least 5 times now and see new stuff every time :) (i print the stuff out and read in bed,what a nerd i know right..) and learn what it takes to put to together a real working solar system for your RV.
