Ya  think !

    Well, now I see that Canadian Tire also has the  same panel as Costco on
sale for $935 and they have the same controller for  $110.49.  So.......it's a
toss up.  I may go with the Costco deal and  sell the second panel so that
"may" save me a couple bucks after all's said and  done.  The Kyocera 130 w
panel looks like a better panel and 10 more watts  but may end up costing way more
by the time it gets over here in Almonte.   Yea, I know, get it on the way to
Mexico and fool around with it there.   But, I'd like to get this all
installed and working before I leave.  With  the wedding and all the other action
I'll never get time to do it right on the  road.

    One more thing ---- THANKS  ----- to all who  have been contributing to t
his discussion.  Very informative &  enlightening.  Better than the Tire
threads hands down !!!!  There is  now a wealth of Solar Panel info in the Vanagon
archives !!!   Good on  ya all !
