Hi I'm Poppi from East Devon. Got my little Daihatsu pick up/romahome last May and love her to bits.
She came with the name Daisy and has so far cost me in total about £2500 to purchase ,
have a stainless exhaust made and buy a new 3 way fridge and re upholstered her as that is my line of work.
Have found i need to get a new leisure battery this season and solar panel set up so will be looking into that soon.
I am a 51 yr old single lady who is looking to join like minded people on meets.

Hi Poppi from Devon & welcome to the forum.
If you have any questions then please just ask away.
There's a couple of folks on here with solar panel setups who could advise you which way to go

Hi poppi, we see these romahomes come up for sale quite regular now and they look ideal actually for getaway-at-weekenders
Solar power is something I and a few of us have to help top-up batteries off hook-up.
On the meets issue see our '2015 social' thread as we are in pretty Matlock derbyshire in June a growing group of us, come and join us

hi Poppi and welcome to the site,
depends what you want from the solar, even a small inexpensive set up will maintain leisure battery and isn't hard to install
would be a panel to go on roof, a small controller (to prevent battery damage from overcharging) and that feeds straight into leisure battery
would be nice to see a photo of daisy sometime

Hi Poppi, welcome. I used to run a Romahome, a Duo. I only parted with it for pure vanity reasons, It was incredibly well built and cleverly designed.
I miss that 50mpg!
We have a porpoising club too

So do those detatch as such? or are they more or less bolted on
