Four years ago I saw a display of these solar panel lifts, and was very interested in them. However, I saw the price and backed off immediately! Each year, I would think about them while in Quartzsite, but would avoid the sales area where they were located.
So I decided to leap in and purchase the lifting system. The installers asked me to show up with my motorhome at an area behind the sales area on a certain day. They worked hard and made progress, but the wind started blowing hard, so they quit for the day and plugged in an electric cord for the motorhome and I spent the night at the work area. The next day they again worked on the installation, and again I spent the night at their work area. The third day, they again worked hard all day, and were close enough to being finished to let me go back to my regular campsite with the Dingbats. I was very glad to be back to my site and to the fenced yard (for the dogs). I was glad to be able to exercise the dogs like they need.
The installers came to my site the next morning and finished up the job that day. They explained that the lifts require a lot of measuring and fine tuning, and that that was why the process was laborious!
The lifts come in two models, and I opted for the two way lifts, which meant that the installation was twice as complicated as the one way lift! The two installers worked hard, and did not charge extra for the extra work involved. They did a good job and the lifts work very well.
Sounds like you got your monies worth if they take that long to install.
ReplyDeleteI think the installers worked for slave wages on this job!
DeleteCongrats!!!
ReplyDeletePatty, I wrote a reply, and somehow it came out as a comment, below. Hope you see it!
DeleteVery cool--that is the ultimate in convenience! Yay!
ReplyDeleteDawn, thanks for commenting! I haven't "met" you before! I agree that it is the ultimate in convenience, and as we age, is a safety factor!
DeleteI hope to hear from you again, and wonder if you also have a blog.
I think if Joey had been here, he would have given them instructions on how to get the job done correctly!
ReplyDeleteHow cool. Glad it became more affordable.
ReplyDeleteI am a gadget junkie, too! I knew I liked you for a lot of reasons!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great gadget. I'm glad it worked out for you now. Do your greyhounds like to walk (or walk well) on leashes or do they need more vigorous exercise within your fenced area?
ReplyDeleteP., about the greyhounds, they mostly use the fenced area for a bathroom, for playing with toys, for playing in the swimming pool(toddlers pool) and for sun bathing. For exercise we go with their leashes. If we find a good place to let them run then we do that and they have fun. If it's a leash only situation, we try to make it a long enough distance that they are happy and relaxed when we get through!
