[a/s] Solar Suggestions

[Bob Kiger <myairstream@xxxxxxxx>]

There has been a terrible energy crisis here in San Diego.  Some time back 
the voters foolishly decided to deregulate gas and electricity 
utilities.  Power is now a free market commodity and it has shot up 100% to 
200% per month.

As a low end user I got out cheap.  My electricity bill went up this month 
from $26 to $34.  I checked with San Diego Gas & Electric and found that 
the minimum monthly cost to keep a meter on my Airstream is only $5 per month.

So I have somewhere around $30 per month to install a solar system.  I am 
looking for the best solution for a vintage Airstream.  Would prefer a 
flexible panel to blend with contour of the coach.  Wondering how many 
batteries to have for my TV, microwave, computer, Dirt Devil vacuum and 
small A/C load.  My current DC load is very manageable for lighting and fans.

I would love to hear from any of you that has had a Solar experience.

Thanks,
Bob
