Solar Panels

[warway]

I have a 2012 36flthat i want to install solar on, does anyone know if I can run the wire down the wall, behind the shelf between the living room and the kitchen between the slides?

[warway]

OK so everyone is looking but no answers, well today was the day the 4 panels were installed on the roof, yes we took Brian's advice (that he gave me over the weekend) to use the wire chase behind the shelf's between the kitchen and the living room, took 5 hrs to get most of the work done, just have the inverter and controller to wire, about 2 more hours. I need to thank the staff at "Discount Solar" for there help, fantastic people.

How long will they supply electricity? How well do they travel?

Our hats are off to you! Wish we could do that also, but after being a fultimer for six months, we don't do enough dry camping to justify the costs. Heck we've only put 10 hours on our Generator. Normally we're hooked up to shore power.

The solar panels will supply power for as long as the sun is shining, panels are warrantied for 25yrs. We have never boon docked for any length of time, but now westay a site for extended lengths of time having to pay for power at rate of $.19 per kw, cost us last month 90 bucks, now we won't have that bill any more. Now have to replace all the halogen bulbs.

Let us know where and what you replace the bulbs with.

Thanks

I purchased led light from heroledstore.com last year been using them for a year now.
Large lights lb-sg4-9t. They are 20 W and use 1.8 watts
Small lights lb-sg4-6t.They are 12 W and use 1.2 W of energy
So far they are the best price of anyone, if you order hundred $150 they will arrive within a week.
I ordered soft white and I find them like the original 20 W bulbs that were originally in here.
They have some 30 W bulbs but I don't know if it will fit the lights you could try them.

Thanks for the tip on heroled.com. They do seem to have good prices and good reviews. I will be buying some very soon.

I searched for those 'lb-sg4-9t' and 'lb-sg4-6t' bulbs at heroledstore.com but came up with nothing??? I have not yet removed (or looked at) the OEM halogen bulbs so I have no idea what the bulb base looks like.Please confirm the specs on the LED replacement bulbs. Thanks!

If the light are like mine they are g4 base.
When on the heroledstore site look left side and go under light bulbs.
Then g4.
Then 12 volt g4
And all the g4 12v lights should be there

Played around with the lights today.
A 30w led light will fit in the larger pot lights
A 20w led will fit in the smaller pot lights
I do find that around the kitchen area the 30 watt lights would be better.
And the small lights over the kitchen stove would also be better.
As for the island lights I removed the original sockets and installed g4 sockets there.
And used 20 watt back pin LEDs worked great and good light.
I wil be putting another order in for some lights this week.
Going to change some of the 20 watts to 30watt LEDs
