Sandy,
The very first thing we added to our 3400 is our solar system. We had a single panel on our old trailer, and we could stay without hookups pretty much as long as we wanted, as long as we didn't go crazy with our electric usage.
When we got the new rig, we found it used more power than the old trailer. More lights, bigger tv, more area to heat etc. So we went with 3 panels total and the same 4 6 volt batteries. Now were good to go again.
If you like to dry camp, and don't mind spending a few bucks on a system, its the best money you can spend.
Mounting is the ez part, I think I have some pictures if you would like to see them.
Please feel free to ask if you have any questions, its a lot to absorb all at once.
