Someone asked a question on a facebook forum as to what was the best RV modification/upgrade that you have done. Well, the best thing we ever did was to add solar panels to the roof and a decent battery system to the motorhome. Given the cost of a new RV, I can't figure why they don't come with solar panels and a decent battery system right from the factory. But, of course everybody has their own idea of how much electricity they need, so I guess it's better kept as an aftermarket installed option.
We love being self sufficient for electricity! That's what allows us to sit in one spot like we are now without having to listen to the daily drone of a generator.

We had a quiet Friday, lounging around the motorhome. It wasn't without a little bit of excitement to break things up though! I got up on Sherman's roof to give the solar panels a quick cleaning. On my way back down, I noticed a tear in the rubber...
- Camping In Huatulco
There is really only one option for camping in Huatulco. But it's a pretty decent option if you don't need to be plugged in to electricity. We've been here before with the motorhome, and now we're here with the little blue car and the...
- Still At Juncalito
Sunday January 6...9:50pm Yet another nice day. About 25 and sunny. Ruth and I are at the point of running our generator for an hour in the morning to recharge the laptop and the house batteries. Glen and Steve have a solar panel that does a good job...
