Hi Bob,

Being based in NJ, can you recommend any specific solar installers in the NE?

Plenty of DIY advice already, but Walt [OP] is looking for a shop to do the work, as are we. No further DIY advice is needed. [See Posts #11 and #14]

Thanks,

Peter

I don't know of any rv specific solar installers in NJ.

Just looking on the Internet, maybe someone like this could handle it?

Thanks Scott. Hoping to find a shop with a known track record for Airstream solar installs.

Other then the dealer I found no installers in NJ other then Colonial airstream for Zamp. I was also in the no DIY camp but found no alternative.
Try calling AM Solar, perhaps they know someone in NY or NJ. They did not a year ago but things change.

Hi

I think the whole "solar conversion" thing has not caught on quite as well in the northeast as it has in the south and far west. I can guess at a couple of reasons for that ... looking out at the rain ....
