Hello Joe,
Sorry should have responded earlier, been off forum for a while. My solar is not working right anymore. Those Go-Power flex panels seemed to have oxidized too much and also some surface delamination going on. I'm about to replace them with some new flex panels. There are a lot more available now, and much cheaper than the $1000+ I spent for the Go-Power ones that I got, and that Airstream uses. I don't know if anyone else had their panels go bad like mine. The newer ones I bought are black and have an "ETFE" layer surface that is supposed to be good for 25 years. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Also, after reading some forums, one of the important upgrades is to change to an MPPT solar charge controller. I ordered a Victron 100/30, supposedly it can handle expansion up to 440 watts, and there is a way to mount it in the area under the jump seat.

We just purchased a 2018 Grand Tour Ext. We are retired and totally new to Rving. Question. What do you do for Internet access?
