Re: Solar Panel - and tow vehicle
Hi, we are planning on purchasing a 19 ft. It will be our third Escape! Our first was #33 and they just keep getting better! Our second was a 17B. Our current tow vehicle is a 2008 Toyota 4Runner, V8. We have towed with V6 4Runner and a V6 T100 (Toyota) pick-up as well. The 4-Runner is a dream! Can't even tell we are towing anything; it is rated for towing 8,000 lbs. Pete believes in as much power as possible and it makes it much less stressful for him to drive/tow. We don't want a pick-up, so the 4Runner is great; a very quiet and smooth vehicle as well. No comparison to Hondas when it comes to road noise! I think the new 4Runners have V6 engines now, but same capacity as our V8. We haven't needed additional mirrors when we towed our last trailer. Also use the WDH as we had a very scary experience years ago while towing a Bigfoot.
We are considering the addition of solar on this unit as well. Just found one package on www.costco.com (a 60W for $300). How many watts is the one that Reace installs?
