[A/S] Getting ready to plunge into solar

Hi folks,

I have an estimate (?) for solar panels from AM Solar near Eugene, OR but I realize I will also have to redo the single battery/inverter setup, and so far I have not had an estimate for that. I am currently camped about 3 hrs from Eugene, and trying to decide what to do. I have a '99 27' Safari and plan to do a lot of solar boondocking if I can afford and figure this out. I have added two Fantastic fans for a total of three, and the dual voltage freezer from Dometic for the frozen food for the falcons. Hunting season calls and I would love to be outfitted for some extended stays in the high plains desert, and I also have generators, but I've noticed the single battery (a new Exide) just isn't up to the task for anything over 24 hrs. I have a pretty stiff estimate for the solar panels and installation (over 3 grand) but nothing yet for the inverter conversion. Help please. Is this a fair estimate for solar, and (thus) whatever they charge for an inverter conversion with different battery setup would also be reasonable? This is a lot of money for me so I am nervous about making a mistake.
I will also have to find a place to rent for the two or three days it will take for the conversion, and having all these animals makes that challenging. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I really hate those generators and the fumes and noise, even where I can use them.

Thanks!

Anne
