Solar plus other upgrades

Well I gave up on trying to figure out how to resize and post pictures., again!

So here is a link, hopefully, to the mods on the 3610. The mods include adding solar panels, inverter, batteries, shower curtain, convenience center re-plumbing, basement storage, and MCD shades. If you end up having access to all my Flikr photos there are more mod pics so feel free to browse, enjoy

Nice, but that understorage is just way to clean. Where did you get the baskets that are hanging?

Very nice Scott.

You answer some of my questions too. I have a 2015 3611RL on order, due in sometime in January. I have 4 (280 Watt) Solar World panel sitting here waiting for delivery on the Montana.

How you placed the panels is how I visioned mounting them. I don't think four will fit, so I plan to mount 3 on the roof and make a slide in try under the Montana for the 4th one, which I can place out in the Sun when camping around trees.

Thanks to all, spent a good deal of time figuring the system and thought about a self install but in the end had a shop in Conroe, TX (Action RV) do the work. Glad I did, they put in 25 hours, from making the solar brackets, making sure they were screwed into the roof joists to configuring the controller. I'd still be working on it!

Greyghost03: yes the basement is/was empty. We travel light but missing were 3 bins and our Wonder washer and dryer. The wire bins take up some space but really help with the organization and ease of access. It was an easy install and got the system from the Container Store.

Hope everyone had a good Christmas!!
