Solar installation in Washington State?

[Shelby Jo]

Does anyone know of anyone reputable that I can take my motorhome to and have my solar system upgraded? I'm on the peninsula in Washington State.

Depends, how soon do you need it? I will be back in the area come July. Only place you are going to find someone beforehand is on the other side of the Puget Sound.

Are you the man Bob recommended in a video? In WA? I live in North Idaho and will be needing solar power eventually - not sure how soon.

Bob did a video of Matt and me last year with Matt being the one in Washington. I don't know if he is taking work or not. I went to Everett for a install last summer but I am still in Quartzsite now.

Nope I'm not that man, at least I don't think I am. I never seen the video hehe. Guess I got to start my reputation somewhere.
My current plan is head to Glacier National park from Miles City MT towards end of June, spend time there with girlfriend and slowly mosey back through Idaho and on to Olympic Peninsula where I will be till September...

Jim in Denver (or Quartzsite!) ... I've looked at your website and have considered having you create the plan... I am clueless about electricity (all aspects) ... I'm just getting started and want to install a floor before my first trip, which will be south to the area around the California/Oregon border, at the end of June. The reason I'm not ready yet is that I just got the van last week and as of right now, don't know what I'll have in there and what my electricity needs will be. I don't have a definite floor plan.

Weldman, could you also install a Maxxair fan? I'm not sure when I'll be back in North Idaho. I would like to get bids from you, Matt, and Jeremy (a man at my church) to see what the prices are like. I'll probably buy from Northern Arizona Wind & Sun as both Bob and Matt recommended them.

Anyhow, like I said, I just got the van and am only focused on one project at a time and right now it is the floor.

Thanks for the list. I am really far from being able to get this done... it feels like. Right now I've just got a big empty cargo van. I really appreciate this thread as I know the electricity is needed but definitely something I can't do myself. So, this list is for the Maxxair and not the solar? I will buy things.. not a problem.
