When Clark convinced me two years ago to join this forum, I told him that I would post photo's of our solar system.
I finally uploaded the solar pics as well as more coach photos:

Better late than never.

Thanks Michael.

Clarke: We're doing well.
We're now on Vancouver Island. Three years ago -on our way to Alaska- we planned to visit it. Back then we spent too much time along the CA coast and it made no sense to pay the ferry for only a few days. We now plan to stay 2 weeks or so. And are thinking of doing the Sunshine coast too.
We started this trip in Tucson AZ in February and is going well. We worked our way up and visited Saguaro NP W, Lake Mead, Las Vegas, Death Valley, Alabama Hills, Yosemite NP -saw the valley snow-covered!- Napa & Sonoma Valley and up along the OR/WA coast up to here.

Very nice! Pretty coach! Do you actually use this coach? It's so clean inside! Thanks for sharing the pictures. I wonder just how many solar panel I could put on top of my coach (no roof a/c units)? What about using the flexible solar panels on the whole roof?... Hmmm...

Thanks Karen & Adrian.
Yes, we do use the coach a lot, about 6 months extensive travel per year. Actually, the interior was re-done at the factory almost 5 years ago. And we take off our shoes, no kids and pets. After each trip we clean it well.
On the solar: We have 1,000W on the roof and there's enough room for more. However, when you go over 1,000W you need an additional Solar Controller and that only makes sense if you mostly travel in the winter months.
