solar

The solar controller is blank. Pretty much after the first few trips this year. Doesn’t light up with any logos, graphics or anything. Interestingly enough the cargo light in that compartment doesn’t work either? Coincidence? Also, Do I have a bad charge controller or am I missing some sort...

I'm a new Rockwood Mini Lite 2109s owner. Also new to camping. Can anyone advise on what choice makes most sense for folks who mostly expect to use full or near full hook ups and way less boondocking as it relates to the need for batteries and solar. Would it be the best to purchase an...

Hello fellow RVers. I have a 2023 Tiffin GH1 with a GoPower solar controller with the above message. Parked the coach (outdoors) for about 2 weeks (in mostly overcast weather) and came back to this? Checked the breaker panel but no dedicated breaker for solar/controller. Service dept is...

Have a 2023 Forest River Forrester Classic 2441DS and I'm having an issue with the coach batteries not charging. It has a Way Elite Solar Controller installed but I've got a sneaky feeling it's not working. When it's plugged into shore power everything charges fine. But when it's unplugged from...

I purchased a small Solar panel that is 7.5 watts and 420ma.It puts out 19 volts in full sun . Is. This enough to trickle charge the house batteries when not being used?

Ok FR tribe, I need your thoughts. We have a '22 A122s, purchased new with factory installed solar panel. We live in FL so sunshine is plentiful. Due to batteries going bad, I replaced them this past Thursday. 12.7 was the voltage showing on the controller. Yesterday reading was 11.7. Ordered a...

Hi all, I have a 2023 Coachmen Leprechaun 260DS and want to install solar panels. I notice that there is a solar connector on the roof, but can't seem to find a lot of information regarding solar for this RV. My questions are: 1. Can I connect 2 200 Watt panels via this connection? 2. Is...

I am entertaining the idea of solar panels as an additional power source. We have the ATS in our unit and looking at who has installed this setup and how you connected to existing 12V system.

5th wheel . Where do you run the wires from the solar panels to the batteries. How do you mount the panels to the roof? Thanks

I have a 2024 E to W Alta 2600krb with factory installed solar panels. Is there a fuse for the panels and where would it be located? It’s not in the breaker box inside the RV.

I have a 2021 Coachmen Sprots Coach with a single solar panel on the roof. I would like to find out if it was wired from the factory to charge both my 6v house and my 12v starting batteries. Also if they put a charging control to stop charging when batteries are at full charge. Any help would be...

Hello All. I have made some changes to my new EPro E20FBS Battery and Solar systems. As I dd not find a lot online and it was hard to chase down some wires I figured I would post up my work and findings here so that others may comment and or benefit from my sleuthing. First off This is the...

Our 28SS ‘Xplorer’ was built during the pandemic, so I fully expected to deal with some challenges. To my utter delight, the combination of lithium batteries, solar panels, and controllers has performed beyond expectation! After nearly three years and 30K+ miles, the front solar had...

I did a brief search, but couldn't find anything. Does anyone have a pic of their DX3 Explorer roof. I'm curious how much room is there to add another 1000w of solar. And, for those own said unit, does 1000w meet your needs while boondocking for long periods of time? Thank you all.

I have the OEM solar installed in our Sunseeker. The controller was made by RluxRV with a published website of rlux.in. When I do a search for the company at rlux.in every result comes back as Account Suspended. Web searches for "RluxRV" also return an Account Suspended status on any "hit"...

I assume it is not connected to the battery and I don't know why. I opened and looked at the wiring and tested that connection and still no voltage reading. It is hooked up to a red wire and white/green wire. Is there a fuse somewhere? I don't see one. 2019 Cherokee Wolf Pup 15sw.

Just purchased this unit - a 23 model. Attempting to install roof solar (200 watts) and plug into the solar prep terminals on the roof. Pulled the wiring inside from the ceiling (In wall closet cabinet) and the wires splice into a Red/black stripe and a White/black stripe wire that runs down...

On first extended boondocking trip w 2025 Europa, wondering if Xplorer package solar is working properly. I have 2 MPPT controllers for the five 200w panels. Per the Victron app, only one of the controlers is processing current. The attached app screen shots show one controller with Current =...

Hello all, Looks like the solar panel is not charging the battery. Controller shows 0v on the pannel and no charging activities. Is there a troubleshooting procedure?

I have no idea who made the panel but my controller shows no array current. I disconnected both battery cables and only show one volt going into the battery, when I first bought this trailer I disconnected the battery and was surprised that the radio was still playing. This is how I found out...

At the highest point of the sun today here in the PNW I observed how my new 400w panels on trailer's roof were comparing to my portable 240w watt portable panels. Portables were set up at optimum angle for this time of year and roof panels just flat-mounted on a slightly domed roof. Here are...

I have a 2023 IBEX19QBH with a battery disconnect code on the solar controller. Code is 601. Checked the connections at the controller and I get power from the panel but nothing from the battery. Been at the dealer for week with no ideas and nothing from Forest River Support. All the other...

Upgrading from a Puma to a Grand Surveyor. The Grand Surveyor comes with a 400W solar setup preinstalled. I will be on a full hookup seasonal site. Will the solar power anything at all when I am plugged into shore power? Just curious as much as anything. Also, the unit has two AC's - will 30Amp...
