> Seeking advices to install the following on my newly acquired '83 Rhodes
22

> -Bimini Top or Boom Room
> -Solar Panel
> -Skipper Swivel Chairs
> -Propane Burner/portable Coleman camping type gas cooktop
> -Fishing Rod holder
> -110V hookup
> -Flush toilet vs pump-out connection.

> Here's the details:
> -Mostly for weekender use. Can trailer up after use. Currently have a
porta
> potty. No problem putting chemical in it, and dumping it out in toilet
after
> use, but thought a pump out might be convenient for longer trip/visit to
> other marinas. Is pump-out necessary when visiting marinas, i.e. can't
take
> porta potty out and dump ?
> -Definitely want at least a bimini top to keep the sun out. Boom Room
seems
> to be an overkill, especially if it costs an arm and a leg, and
inconvenient
> to set-up/tear down, and can't be use as a sun screen during the day &
while
> sailing
> -Can get 110V from the house when trailer up, and if the only good use is
> for charging the battery, then 100V hookup/distribution/installation/cost
do
> not seem warranted

> General advices would like to get:
>
> -pros & cons, Dimensions/cost/ease of installation. A bimini from the
> manufacturer costs ~$500. Need dimensions to check out if available on
eBay.
> -Usefullness of Solar Panel: is 10W enough to run radio/navigational
> equipment/Laptop  directly, or it is mostly good for charging the battery,
> which can be (?) used for powering those ? Are solar panels reliable,
> durable ?
