solar panel

I haven't found any specific threads on this so I'll ask here: I have a 2006 Cardinal with a rooftop solar panel. I am wondering two things: 1. Does anybody have any idea what type of panel this is located on the top of the air conditioner (amorphous or crystalline) and how many watts it is...

Just got two T105 6 volt batteries. Can i charge them by running my Honda 2000 and my 100watt Solar suitcase at the same time? Will that top them off more quickly? Sent from my iPhone using Forest River Forums

I was about to order the flex panels online from Renogy but, to my surprise, they no longer carry them. I called and talked to a sales rep and was told there is a quality issue with the power output with a couple of batches, and they have decided to stop carrying them altogether. When I asked...

I've installed my solar panel on the roof with the intention of adding more panels at a later date In the past I've always installed the panel behind a vent or the roof top Ac unit just to break up the airflow under the panel On this new trailer I've installed it in such a way that it is not...

I would love to put permanently mounted solar panels on my T21TBHW which has an actuator that lifts the roof. My questions are: 1) How much weight can I put on the roof and still expect the actuator to function properly? 2) Should I put it on the back panel where the actuator is (not much...

I am developing a microcomputer based solar tracker that will keep my solar panel directed toward the sun as it moves from East to West each day. While I have the micro controller, its light sensors and programming worked out, I need some advise on how to construct a base to set the panel...

I recently purchased a 2016 Rockwood Roo #183. On my first outing, which was 4 days dry camping, the CO alarm kept going off. I had the battery that came with the trailer tested and it was determined to be fine. The dealership suggested I add a second 12 V battery and bridge them together. I did...

So I was wondering I have 4 12v batteries and want to install solar panels to keep them charged while we are dry camping. We have a 2000 watt inverter also which I want to use to power our commercial refrigerator without running the generator full time. So my question is how many solar panels do...

I've got a new Roo with what seems to be a foam sandwich for a roof. I would like to put three hundred watt panels on the roof but don't see an easy way of keeping them secure. I've thought about using flexible panels, but since they are more expensive I thought I'd ask what others have done.

How do you hook-up a “Renogy 100W, 12V, Monocrystalline Solar Panel ($140)” to my 2004 Grandby 4WC? I want to use this Solar Panel as a portable unit on the "ground" to charge my one auxiliary 12V battery, Laptop and 2 portable fans. Is connecting to my 2004 Grandby 4WC simply a matter of using...

Getting ready to mount 2x100 watt solar panels on the roof of my class C. Going to use the fridge vent for cable entry. Questioning where to actually place the 2 panels and leave room for 1 or 2 more. I am concerned if I place them on the passenger side, they will end up catching tree branches...

I have a new Freelander MH that has a connector on the outside for a solar panel to charge the batteries. Has anyone plugged a solar panel in using this connection? Is there a charge controller built in or do I need to use one with the solar panel.

My 2013 380 amp has this wire wrapped with electrical tape in the battery compartment. Is this for solar hookup? It does not have the solar prep option.

Who has installed a solar panel in their RV to keep a charge on the coach batteries and did you consider it worth the investment?

First trip out with my Zamp solar panel. My TT has the pre-wired Zamp connection. It seems to work great and charges my 2 12V (group 24) batteries fairly quickly. Question though: checked the controller yesterday it was showing 14.7 volts from the battery bank and was still showing to be in...

I am interested in knowing what route people have chosen for the solar panel cables to the charge controller and where they installed the charge controller. I realize that the choices will depend on the MH coach configuration, so I'll note that I have a Berk 34QS. It has quad slides and the...

Thanks in advance, I have a 6 watt charger for maintaining the trailer while it's in storage. I have a battery disconnect switch installed. Currently, I have two batteries and a third that I will install. For recharging, I have my Eye on the Coleman 12V Crystalline 100 watt (8.7 amp) solar...

Just wondering what's all needed to hook up panels is everything there and just need to buy the panels? The trailer said its prepped for it

Started installing two 100 watt panels on the roof today. I drilled a small pilot hole for the mounting screws, drill bit goes right thru, like hardly any material there, roof can't be more that a 1/4" thick (I'm being generous). I turn the screw in to test the hold, get to the end and the screw...

Has anyone bought and used the plug and play solar panels the Roos are equipped for ? Useful, not useful? Powerful, not so much? We are picking up our 21dk Saturday and are going back and forth about getting them. The place we usually camp with friends on long holiday weekends will not have...

Hi, I have a Prism 2150LE that has an external port for attaching a solar panel. I have a few questions. Do I just attach a panel to that port and I'm good to go? Or do I have to add a converter that would regulate the charge going into the batteries? I'm wondering if since the external port is...

I have a 2015 coachman 5th wheel with a residential refrigerator and a 1000 watt inverter. While boondocking last fall the batteries would go low enough to shut down the refrigerator in about 5 hours or less. I hate running the generators 24/7 just so I can run a refrigerator and a CPAP...

I just sold our 21SS which I had mounted a 160W panel with aluminum brackets/lag bolts and lots of sealant. Getting things in order for the arrival of the new unit and debating on mounts for the new 175W panel. I've seen these no-drill mounts and wondered about the tradeoffs. I would still...
