cool. i love those things.<br><br>but where the heck are people buying their solar from?&nbsp; 12k for 1k watts?&nbsp; way overpriced.<br><br>

think the cost for solar included the batteries and bypass for street power and everything. yes it cost way too much at $12,000 but if they know nothing about electric power they end up with a costly solution.<br><br>they stated they need $30 a month in winter for electric, &nbsp;plus $300 rent for the camping space. &nbsp;plus the cost of building the house. &nbsp; so about $4000 a year. and they own the little house worth $20,000 in equity. &nbsp;they are lucky to find anyone with a zoned camping area, as towns hate this (no tax base).&nbsp;<br><br>*****<br><br>as comparison my son rents a small apartment shared with room mate. each own bed room. they pay $800 month rent. are fifteen minutes from dead center of charleston, sc. electric is $100 monthly. so lets say $12000 a year and he has nothing. &nbsp;<br><br>camp sites nearby are $750 monthly in the good campground. so $9000 a year.&nbsp;<br><br><br>

buy a van for $5000. get a very large great quality cabin tent and tent-wood-stove for $1000. &nbsp;attach an external table and cowling for a window HVAC unit for $200 for hot areas of the country.&nbsp;<br><br>very getto redneck hillbilly, but you own everything. in bad weather (high wind, extreme cold) you batten down the hatches and get in the van. &nbsp;
