Hello everyone, Im brand new here. Planning to order a Grandby out of SOCAL. I was looking or a general consensus on a few items. Also realize i am pretty handy, more so than the average Joe I think. I am looking for the "easy" items to do on my own vs paying FWC.
1. Electrical. Im wanting to go with lithium and therefore planning to go with a minimum of electronics from FWC. Buy the single AGM battery and no solar controller. I am even considering buying a 3000 goal zero. It comes with solar controller, LI battery, and charger from my truck.
2. Yakima racks. Thinking of buying just the mounted rails. In that manner I can use these rails to mount solar and I get the factory warranty on the roof penetrations. Good idea?
3. Solar. I want solar panels pretty much from the get go. I was thinking price wise and Li battery wise I could do better myself than FWC., yes? I probs want at least 200w and maybe 300-400w. The dealer says that the roof is prewired to the solar controller spot and then down to the batteries too.
thanks, steve
