Long story short...needs/wants needed before 9/30/18:

I am not looking for free labor, but reasonable costs:  

Solar:

~ I need a knowledgeable Solar installer in the PHX, AZ metro area that can install 4 to 6 100W panels on the roof of an RV Trailer.  It is an 01 Prowler approx 17' X 8' (floor space).  I have, currently, 4- Renogy 100W 12 Volt Monocrystalline Solar Panels  purchased in a kit with Renogy Commander 40A MPPT Charge Controller 12V 24V Battery Regulator with MT-50, etc.  It came with ONE fuse contraption but I think I want more fuses from what I've read. 

~ IF there is room on the roof or on the sides, (maybe) another 2- 100W panels because of needs/wants for "soon to be accomplished" (keywords) boondocking capabilities. I have not purchased these extra 2 panels as of yet because the roof has the typical A/C unit, 2 standard vents and some other things (antennae?).  I only have a 6" ladder,  so I can't get up there to measure the actual free flat space too well.  If I need to buy a taller ladder for this, I will as cost allows.  I realize that most nomads don't carry around huge ladders.

Carpentry: 

~ making a door for the new cabinet I had built for the 2 (very heavy) Renogy 12V 200AH GEL batteries.  The batteries are already in their new cabinet inside the trlr (no worries there)...
~ A space/or shelf for the pure sine wave inverter that I have yet to buy (size & brand yet to be determine of which I need advice on that as well).
~ A couple lite boxes or shelfs for the 2 cats to get UP &  away from each other and the dogs  ;)

Vanbuild:

~ Help with flooring
~ Secure couple small pieces of furniture plus build a simple bed frame with storage underneath.
~ Build a garage area in the back.
~ Help with railings I want to put on the top (already purchased).  I think they just screw onto the lip on the van roof...

***   I am aware of weight limits so this will be a figure it out as we go project...  You might ask: why a van build if you have a trailer?  Because I eventually, (after all my old animals go over the rainbow bridge...and before I do...), to move into the van...and also a back up plan if something happens to the trlr (I was a girl scout).

Additional Trailer stuff needs/wants:

~ I want to swap out the toilet & seal the hole because I don't want to deal with the black tank...open for discussion
~ Would like to "seal" the roof first for obvious reasons.
~ I have a spare tire that needs to be attached to the back of the trailer so I don't have to carry it inside the trailer (and save my back).
~ I want to attach somehow, a shelf (wood probably) on the back bumper for eventual generator purchase..

So far, that's it in a nutshell and trying to make a complete list here (I hope)... I need to get moving on this if anyone is interested, please respond soon.  Again, not looking for free labor here.

Much gratitude
