Thanks Bill/Ray, you guys obviously know what you are doing. By the nature of my comments you can tell i'm clueless. We do some dry camping and bought a quiet (Yamaha EF3000ise) generator for that purpose. Solar panels are cleaner, quieter, and don't run out of gas. ...and i've had other issues with plastic (Walmart) tanks under the Florida sun.

I'm considering solar panels just as a trickle charger and as a second option as the two of you are doing, a primary source of power. I had hoped to avoid any complicated instalation issues by getting some kind of portable panels that could plug into the DC socket. I really don't want to modify my TM if at all possible because i'm one of those people with the midas touch. From what i'm reading, it's best to get informed and do things the right way. Thanks for your advice, I'll visit some solar panel webistes and weight all my options.
