    Location for solar panels on 3051 S Forester

    I'm installing two 160 W solar panels on the roof of our motorhome. I wanted to know if there are recommendations and cautions you might have. I would also like cable routing recommendations. It would be easier if I could pull the refrigerator, but that isn't a task I want to tackle. It looks...

    ACOPOWER Solar Panels

    Does anyone have experience with using ACOPOWER with their TT? They have a 200 Watt portable solar kit that is decently priced. Plus, they sell an adapter for TT with the Zamp plug, which mine came with pre-installed. - Andrew

    Solar Panels - FLOODED??

    My husband was washing our RV and when he was finished washing the roof, I noticed that the solar check panel inside the RV said "flooded". He did wash them and rinsed them off with the hose; but what does the "flooded" message mean on the panel inside? Will they still work?

    Solar panel controller wiring question

    We do a couple weeks off grid a year in our hard sided popup. I've done the math and a 100W panel will suffice to keep our battery topped off. My question is the controller (allpowers ap-ot-002) has connections for battey, panel and load. Straightforward but I don't know how the existing...

    Wand to rinse off Solar panels and roof

    I found this on Amazon, Orbit 58543 Telescoping Gutter Cleaning Wand with Ratcheting Head for around $26. Works GREAT for rinsing off the solar panels and the roof without having to go on the ladder. Just make sure you have no leaks up there!

    Solar Panels

    We bought a 2018 23IKSS in August. It has a plug on it to attach a solar panel which says use only Zamp panels. I’m assuming the controller is built into the trailer but I’m not sure. Any advice about this would be appreciated. We do mostly boondocking and I don’t like generators.

    Using camper battery bank/solar to recharge other battery banks (such as boat batteries).

    Thought I'd start a thread about using your camper battery bank/solar to recharge batteries on another battery bank. This came up on a recent thread so thought I'd start a new one to discuss. Though in my application, I'd be charging batteries in a fishing boat, this thread isn't isolated to...
