solar panel

For pre-wired solar, is there a limit on the solar panel capacity/rating that can be connected? I have a 2021 HW277. Is FR still installing zamp connections for the pre-wired?

Our "2022 I 3RW" came with one 190 watt panel installed on the roof at the rear. Something for the installers to think about is that the location they installed it left no room for another panel to be installed. If they had moved it over about one foot I could have installed another next to it...

I have 400 watts of solar panels on the roof. I want to get a portable kit to augment those panels when we have obstructions (trees) at our site. (Thinking of making my own from a pair of 75 watt Newpowa panels) Since the Zamp plug goes directly to the battery and the portable kit would have...

Just traded in our 2018 Rockwood Ultralight 2703WS for a 2023 Rockwood Mini Lite 2205S. This will be our first exposure to solar power. When I put the trailer into storage, it appeared the 2 ea 200W solar panels on the roof were continuing to charge our house batteries (2 ea 12V deep cycle...

Hi. As mentioned in another post, we just purchased a 2015 SS1200 Palomino. I'm going on a 7 day boondocking trip in Sept. I might want to pick up a solar panel. I shouldn't be using much battery power....Running the fridge on propane and it shouldn't be very cold where I'm going....maybe...

Referencing this post: https://www.forestriverforums.com/forums/f16/where-to-plug-in-solar-if-we-install-ourselves-240222.html I know this is an old post but, much like a traveler that is looking at a path someone else created, I'd like to add to this trail with more thorns and brush. A little...

Hi, I've got an issue with my solar panel as I'm not seeing any voltage from the leads going to the charge controller. Plugged the wires in to the controller from another solar panel and it works. I've gone on to the roof to check the connector from the solar panel that goes through the roof...

I just wanted to share something I had never seen before...and this is officially from Rockwood. They actually have and provide a document to help the customer mount solar panels on the thin lauan roof of their trailers. See attached.

I can see not having a solar disconnect being a problem. If you do any battery maintenance and accidentally disconnect the solar controller, and your panels aren’t disconnected, I hear that’s real bad. What is everyone doing to disconnect the panels? I saw a few you tubes they just put an 100a...

Hi all, [I am reposting this as I think I posted in the wrong place] Our 2007 23C “Classic” had a 18W solar panel, which I removed as it was broken. I replaced the broken panel with a set of three 15W panels (because they were free, never been used and that’s all I need for our purposes). The...

Help Please! I have a 2021 Greywolf 23 DBH. I'm putting new solar panels on, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to get the new wires from the roof down to the battery/controller. Every idea I've had comes up short. Does anyone have any good ideas, tips, etc.? Thanks.

I just screwed a bunch of solar panels to the roof of my Palomino HS-8801 truck camper. The wood sheet that makes up the roof is like 1/4" thick and my wood screws barely grab. A few screws got lucky and drove into some thicker wood but most are barely in there. Was I supposed to use a stud...

2019 SS 1251 Palomino Backpack Pickup Camper bought used (like new inside and out). Was wonderinng if these are solar panel connectors and if so where would I verify/check with a multi meter the wire connections? I am pretty sure there is no solar controller in the battery/fresh water storage...

I have a Windjammer with a connect in the side for a plug and play solar panel. Any recommendations on which solar panel to buy? Thanks

Wondering how people maintain and clean their roof when they have 90% of the roof covered with Solar Panels. Is there a mounting style that lets you left up the panel to get under it and inspect/clean/treat your roof? I have an Aframe with a 200watt panel on the roof, and I know it grows...

I am in the planning stage on adding solar to my TT. I am not sure the best way to mount solar panels to the roof due to not knowing how the roof is constructed ie. does it has trusses or not? according to the brochure for the year it states...Vacuum-bonded radius roof with vaulted ceiling...

i have a 2016 forest river sandstorm 273slr g series, i want to add a 200 watt solar panel to the one that it came with, what panel would mix with the original panel

I’m really having a hard time getting started and understanding a solar set up. I’ve learned a lot to date, so thanks for all the help. But I’m just not getting it. The first panel I bought, the controller was bad so I sent it back. And then I bought the Dokio 150w foldable panel through...

My wife and I have a 2022 2104S with 2 batteries and a 100w solar system already installed, plus there’s an external outlet to plug in an additional panel. My question is this, I have another panel to install, but do I need another solar controller to protect my batteries from over-charging, or...

Hi, Been owning this 2019 Geopro for 4 years and had to replace the panel twice already, last replacement was last year. While preparing the trailer for the season this year guess what... the panel is dead again. I've checked the voltage at the panel, on the roof, it is not the controller...

The solar panel I purchased, AtemPower 160w briefcase style panel kit is defective and I’m returning it. The 20amp mppt charge controller isn’t working correctly. And I’m not wanting to just buy the same thing again. So I’m looking at alternatives and looking for suggestions. Also how important...

I have a 2021 epro 19fbd with 2 agm batteries and a solar panel on the roof. I had dead battery problems in the past and found they installed miss matched lead acid batteries which shorted out. I replaced them with 2 agm 840 ahr duralast batteries from auto zone Went camping and batteries were...

I have a Wildwood FSX 178BHSK travel Trailer. Two 12V batteries Hooked up in parallel to get more amp hours. What is a recommend for a portable Solar Power system to power the refrigerator. I would like them portable so I can follow the sun when in a shaded area.

I’m the original owner of my 21FBLE and have dabbled with solar since even before solar became popular. I never put any panels on the roof but have 3 x 100 watt panels I’ve ground deployed. One of the first changes I made to my camper was to swap out all the interior incandescent lights to LED...

I purchased a Atem Power 160 watt suitcase solar panel through Amazon. It was previously used and at a great price. I’ve bought many items this way and have never been disappointed. It has a 20 amp MPPT charge controller. I set it up yesterday and it seemed to work. But how do I test it to...
