    I just found Affinity Designer. I am running it on a Mac but there is a PC version as well.

        Nearing final on my plan, except for selection of panels which I won't do until I've been on top of the roof of my still-being-built Momentum 397th. Was originally planning on Battle Born batteries but decided to go with Victron for same capacity in much smaller footprint with fewer disconnect switches and wires.
        My trailer: Grand Design Momentum 397TH with many small modifications and a fairly large (1700W panels, 10KW batteries) DIY solar install.

        My truck: 2020 RAM 3500 Laramie Longhorn 4x4 DRW, 6.7L Cummins HO Turbo Diesel, Aisin 6-speed, 4.10 axle, Patriot Blue Pearlcoat, Longhorn L1, Towing Tech, Max tow, Towing prep, 30K 5th wheel, Cold Weather pkg, Safety group, Body color bumpers, Tow hooks, Auto level, 50 gal fuel, Bed step, Side steps, Sunroof, Aux switches, Air Horn, TruXedo Sentry bed cover

          Wow!

          If you'd like any feedback or inputs from the knowledgeable folks here on the forum regarding your plan, please start a new thread. At minimum I hope you'll do the forum the favor of documenting the experience.
