No generator, no problem!

That's just internet forum logic, especially around here. In real life people with modern rv solar systems tend to love it, and if they don't like something about it they're glad to say so, and/or fix it. No "sugar coating" required.

I have been on this forum for quite a while now trying to gain knowledge on putting a system on my conversion, and at no point felt like it was frowned on. JUst some honest opinions and facts about the true cost, complexity, risk, reward. What I have learned here has been super valuable and rewarding. I dont get the bitter attitude toward the forum.

I think most rvers struggle with solar fulfilling there needs, mainly due to the want for airconditioning

Successful solar on an RV, I think, requires a DIY spirit, hands on maintenance approach and a full understanding of its capabilities and limitations. I would think a bought and installed system from a dealership or Larry with a Ladder has a very slim chance of meeting the buyers needs and would be destined for a short life followed by a poor attitude about solar..

And that's EXACTLY what I'm wanting to not have happen here. I see this as a forum of "realistic expectations" advising folks how to engineer a system that will work for them. I want this forum to have real answers to questions, and not be greenwashing, pie in sky, join the solar revolution comrade. I want people to be as happy with their solar as I am with mine, knowing that there are limits.
