If this is the wrong group to read about such, please let me know.

I'm sure this topic has been beaten to death, so a referral to a good

I'm wondering what my solar panel options are for my 2003 25ft Prowler

I've seen this done but don't know the details. Has anyone tried it?
Someone took an electric water heater heating element and fixed it to

I thought I had posted this a few days ago to RORT, but I haven't seen
