Is the Renegade smaller than a Wrangler? I tow my 13' Trillium with my '09 Wrangler if that helps any. I can't recall what a Renegade is capable of. I guess it also depends on what you are towing.

The only electrical requirements in my Trillium is the lighting (fridge is an ice box). How hard would it be to convert to solar? Would it be cost effective?
