This week I removed my small loveseat in our BH model next to the door, added some base trim to the wall and put in a leather euro recliner. So much better. Installed a wall mount magazine rack to cover the couple of wires going up the wall to the awning. Love the new chair.

Going to get her out of the garage tomorrow and wash/wax her, gets it twice a year.

Enjoy your new rig, hope to see you on the road.

Well I have been busy. Removed Sofa Sleeper and Love seat, replaced them with Theater seating and custom built fire place that I built. What you guys think?

KatnKeith, I did consider that but the DW really wanted just the fire place.

DW is better, but a bit less fun,,,,

I have more things on my list, but over the last couple of weeks I installed:

-6 Costco 6v batteries
-2 solar panels for 630 Watts
-Morningstar MPPT 60 Solar controller
-Magnum 2812 Inverter/Charger
-Moved power for the while coach to the inverter.

I have another panel to bring the solar up to 945 Watts, but need to look into changing the bathroom sunlight cover on the roof so it'll fit. I saw 38A at 14.7V this afternoon going into the batteries. :-)

What panels are you looking at?? Those sound huge.

I'm planning on the same controller. Thought about a battery shunt/monitor? I think I'm going to do one as well so I know know what's actually getting used.

The panels are Canadian Solar 315 Watt. Measurements are 77" x 40" I got them from a recycler here in the Los Angeles area for $150 each, no tax, and I picked em up so no shipping. If I had to do it again, I would seriously consider getting panels 72" or less in length. It'd make fitting them while keeping them away from shadows quite a bit easier.

I used this meter, mostly because Solar Bob recommended it:
https://www.amazon.com/TM-2030-RV-Tr...rds=tm+2030+rv

Another option is this as it takes another factor into account when drawing higher loads:
https://www.amazon.com/Victron-BMV-7...ywords=bmv-702

The former is cheaper, but doesnt come with a shunt like the latter. I got a shunt with my Magnum MMP so it made sense to use the 2030.

I suggest getting the meter ASAP so you can figure out your useage, then size your system accordingly.
