And the final pictures....as a side note, there were NO holes drilled anywhere in the rood to install either the cables, or solar panels, which is always a plus in my book. Both Elaine and I are very impressed with Mike and Lisa's professionalism. After spending Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and part of Friday with them, we now consider them friends....and that is a bonus.

In their original e-mail proposal they gave us a high and low of hours needed to install the system. In the end the number of hours they actually spent installing our system exceeded the high estimate by 5-6 hours, however, they honored their "high" estimate. So, here are the numbers:
A.M. Solar - 2 - 150 watt panels, Blue Sky Charge Controller, Blue Sky Monitor, cabling, wiring, sealant, etc. - $1,820 (rounded off)
R.V. Guy, Inc. - $1,113.00 (a more modern coach might take fewer hours). So for just under $3,000 we have our solar charging system installed. I know most of you could probably have installed this system, and I probably could have if I wanted to spend a couple of weeks, which I didn't want to do....lol, so for me it was money well spent, and we gained new friends to boot. In addition, we do have back up support should we have questions, or issues.
