Just bought a new trailer and was looking into getting a solar panel for camping off the grid and was wondering what you folks are using or recommend??[emoji848]

I just purchased a 10watt solar panel and a small controller for my TT battery charger. When I hook my panel up to the controller, nothing shows on the LCD screen when I place it in the sun. I have even switched my wires going to the controller thinking maybe I had reverse polarity or something...

When I talk to my dealer about installing a solar panel on my Minilite he checked with Rockwood and they did not recommend installing solar on Minilites, the reason being there are no cross members on the roof. It's a solid 4 inch thick foam roof with 1/8 inch plywood on top and bottom for...

Why have the Zamp solar system on my Ultra V, when I can't even use my 110 outlets? That means No COFFEE! If I want more power for dry camping then I still need a 4000watt generator. I can't see spending $300+ for a solar panel that is useless and a waste of money, just to run my light and...

I’ve used the search button and have found some good general information about mounting solar panels on a lot of different type of roofs, but I’m looking specifically for people that have installed panels on either the Rockwood or Flagstaff models. Anybody out there that have mounted panels on...

I have a pair of go power flex panels that came installed on my roof. I thought about adding a few more, but am wondering if i can mix with other brands of panels. Go power wants $500usd for their 100 watt. These guys have 100 watt flex for $249cdn...

Hi all, I am looking to see if anyone has used a solar panel on their '16 Roo 233s. Was a solar panel controller or charger needed, or is that also pre wired into the trailer? Any info or pictures would be awesome!! Thanks!:trink39:

Just wondering recommendations on a affordable portable solar panel to maintain batteries wile camping

My brother stores his 5th wheel at a storage facility. One of those places that have garage type storage units. There is a small area at the rear where there's room for maybe 8 RVs. No shore power, so about once a week, he breaks at his folding panels & charges his batteries. The place is like a...

I have a 8529 IKBS and was thinking of installing solar panels on the roof. After calling FR and asking a few questions, I was informed that the roof was only 3/8" Luan and then i would be into insulation. My question is for those who have installed panels themselves. What length of screw did...

I have a 2017 XLR Hyper Lite 29HFS and I am looking for information on a solar panel kit for it ... anyone out there have any suggestions that won't cost a small fortune? Thanks

I'll be dry camping for 3 nights this summer am wondering if a 40 watt solar panel will be able to keep my group 31 battery topped up, assuming I arrive with it fully charged and there is sunlight. The only electrical demand would be: the water pump for taps/toilet. Likely wouldn't use the...

Just brought home our new 2017 Palomino Solaire. Nothin fancy in the RV world but we like it. Living in the Rocky Mountain house in Southern Alberta where it's above freezing for about 5-6 months of the year. Can't wait to try it out. This is our second Forrest River trailer and we are very...

I'm sure this question has been asked before but I'm asking it again. I'm looking at putting a solar panel on my evo 2550. Probably around a 140 watt I'm wondering what kind of panels you guys are using and where you get them. I will also need a charge controller I kind of like the blue sky...

We are thinking about adding a solar port to our 17B for adding a portable panel later. Escape will install a owner supplied port for $100. Anyone know what type of port would be a good one and where to buy it. Any suggestions as I really don't know anything about it. Where would the best...

Has anyone put a solar panel on their TT yet? I would like to know which brand or where you place it if you mounted it on the roof. I am thinking about getting one to add to my tt. It's a 21rb and currently has one battery....Should I add another? Thanks.

We have a 2016 Sandpiper 5th wheel with a LG residential fridge, elec only, we are thinking of buying portable solar panels to power the fridge when we do not have hookups. Has anybody looked into this or done this? We don't want to buy a generator.

Hello, I just bought a wildcat maxx 285RKX. Does anyone have recommendations on a solar kit that has everything I need? I am very new to this and appreciate any help, thank you.

I made a short video showing the nuts and bolts of my solar installation.

Yet another dreaded wake up by the low voltage CO alarm. Not really a fan of waking up to that screech, so we want to hook a solar panel and the old lady won't allow anything but the Zamp. Main question is how big a panel can I purchase and still use the factory plug on the side. We...

We have a Stealth with a 200 watt solar panel. Just wondering if it should be protected from the winter elements. We likely will not have any covered storage until next year. We live in beautiful northeastern oregon.....so snow is likely. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Adding solar panel setup to the aframe. Just another crazy idea lol. I am also installing an inverter for some boondocking days. Plan to remove microwave and add two outlets in that area and then one for my blender. Thinking of adding an outside one but not sure yet. I will post some pics as I...

Since the W floorplan is becoming popular, I just want to share a no-drilling method I used recently for my W. I learned this method mostly from discussions on this and other subforums. I'm happy to report that in a ten-day dry-camping test, the system performed well, and panels are very firm...
