Add that to the fact that we would hate doing it ANYWAY, and we just bite the bullet and pay the premium for our lack of desire to deal with lead acid batteries.<br /><br />Yes, the price we are paying is inline with what you quoted. If we didn't have concerns about our ability to make it to Yuma to deal with Larry Crutcher at Starlight Solar, that is where we would be headed... but we want to do some drycamping before we head south and don't want the worry of knowing whether or not our 12v. system is up to the job.<br /><br />Sometimes we spend more money than is absolutely necessary just to buy peace of mind and avoid spending undue time and effort to do more thorough research. We feel comfortable with Carrier and Sons, and we have the time right now to get this taken care of - that made the decision easier for us. I hate having to have repairs/upgrades made when we are under time pressure.Laurie and Odelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08160352835343733761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074893393280780220.post-36079446451399383602009-10-03T07:36:21.213-07:002009-10-03T07:36:21.213-07:00Hi, I enjoy reading your adventures.

They are $300 each plus $100 to have them installed. Is that price about in-line with what you'll be paying?jcw3rdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09440682578115222295noreply@blogger.com
