Need replacement. Has anyone used a supplier other than Newmar?

Some people have found that the solar panel was working and the light on the dash had just burned out. Might check with volt meter or test light if the indicator light is working. Tom

Thanks to "007" and Tom Chelbana. Newmar PN is 109166. $131.76 if anybody needs one. They are using a newer panel with a smaller footprint so modifications are needed for installation.

Wow - That's a lot of $$$ for such a small panel. You can find good quality 5W in the $50 area, and 10W for around $75. I'm not talking Horror Freight trash, but good quality.

Just sayin'
