   Bonnie and Doug from Tracy CA.  Scheduled to pick up our new Hood River 179 on Tuesday (5 Aug).  We are planning on mostly going to campgrounds that don't have hookups so we are getting the Yamaha 2400 generator and a 100 watt solar panel, we are also planning on getting an inverter.  I am going to try the solar setup that is posted on this forum instead of the (pricey) Zamp setup.  Since we don't actually have the trailer at home yet we are looking for ways to make the most of what storage is available.  We would also be interested to see if anyone has added additional shelves, cabinets, or hooks to increase storage.  I am looking at the space above the bed for shelves or cabinets.  I'm sure we will have more questions once we have the rpod.

	The Renogy 100 watt panel (Amazon) with Sunforce 10 amp charge controller. One of the forum members posted his installation.
