I have a 1987 Airstream 345. What would it cost, including labor, to install something like this?

I got my system installed.cost roughly 1000.00 for panel controller wiring & 700.00 to install. Thats 1 100 watt panel going to add another 100 watts in future with cost another 100 in labor . you could get a very nice generator for that . I do not want to here one .SunRunner 100-22 System

Forgot my cost were a little higher because included removal of old useless 15 watt panel sealing up old holes.

We are thinking about solar panels for the Overlander, but it isn't cheap. A couple of panels will run around $1000. Add a couple of hundred for mounting and a couple of hundred more for a controller. I would guess that it's a great system for keeping batteries charged and "boondocking," but perhaps not cost effective for folks spending most of their time in campgrounds.
