solar panel

I want to add two solar panels on my 2022 21DS Microlite TT and could not find any threads that tell you how it should correctly be done on a composite roof. I called Forest River and the tech sent me this PDF on the correct way. I hope this helps anyone else that is going to mount panels too!

I have a Class A 2019 Sightseer 33C. I don't have any solar panels. Does anyone have a recommendation for manufacture, size, etc? I see ads for 12v and 24v solar panels. Which would I need? Would I need to get an LI battery? Would I need anything other than the panels to tie into the existing...

My 2020 G19FD has a 100 watt solar panel. For the last couple of years I never disconnected the battery with the key and the solar panel kept the batteries charged. I put a cover on the trailer a couple of months ago and since the solar panel was not getting any light I disconnected the...

Avoid using Eco-Worthy flexible solar panels. This panel lasted for three years, then this happened. Luckily it went out by itself. Tried contacting Eco-Worthy on this issue, nothing but silence.

Hey folks. Lurking for a year, but signed up to pick the brilliant brains on this forum. I've had my 2008 hybrid Rockwood Roo for a year now, and with all the repairs and maintenance on this lemon I've finally gotten around to investigating the little solar panel on my roof. I highly doubt it...

Talk to me like I’m clueless, because I am. Please break it down to me as if you’re explaining it to your 99yr old Amish grandma. How do I use the solar panel that came factory installed? Go Power. I am staying at a seasonal site where I pay a monthly electric bill. Can I use my solar to cut...

I saw the other Solar Expansion thread, but thought this should be a new topic. Mods feel free to merge the two if you think that is best. I am in the planning stages for adding solar panels to the roof of my Journey, being I have laid things out and feel I can fit 8 panels at 200W on the roof...

My Dynamax has 2 factory 100w flexible solar panels that are apparently attached with two-sided tape....I heard somewhere that Dynamax used to use 3M VHB tape so I assume that is what is under there. I want to reposition the two flex panels to free up additional room for 4x160w hard panels...

Got my solar charger and panels installed today. Thanks for all the input on this forum. Seems to be charging the batteries as it should.

Hi - brand new owner of a Forester 2861DS that came with solar panels. I have no idea how to activate the batteries. The panel shows 0.0 on all screens. On the walkthrough, I was told they charged automatically, but this doesn’t seem to be the case. Any ideas?

I have the Cross Flex TPO roof. I mounted my solar panel using the Renegy Z Brackets and used 1/4" galvanized lag bolts to bolt them to my roof. I then covered that with Dicor to seal it and make sure the bolts do not back out. BUT, I feel like the bolts don't have much "bite" and could pull...

I want to replace the single solar panel on my 2018 sunseeker 2650 motorhome with at least 2 larger ones. The current system is controlled through a Z-amp charge controller, charging 2 group 27 AGM batteries. I would also like to add 2 more batteries for a total of 4 (there is room in the under...

Is it safe to plug a 100 Watt 35 Amp Hour Solar Panel into the Furrion Solar Port labeled 10 Amp on the side of my (new to me) 2017 Wolf Pup 16FQ?

I got solar panels to upgrade my juice pack system on my artic wolf 287bh fifth wheel. My question is how thick is the roof? I want to make sure the screws they gave me with the feet are not too long that I go through the interior ceiling.

Hello I have 5 385watts panels 48v Wondering if I could series connect them safely into a midnite 250 To charge 24v560ah lifepo4 then invert through a Victorino multiplus. Also do I need fuses . I would have liked to series parallel them but I have an odd number of panels . I also would have...

I have a 2-year-old Geo pro G20BHS and I have had to replace the solar panel twice due to it over heating. The problem seems to be that the panel is glued to the top of the trailer causing no air circulation under the panel. Is anyone else having this problem with their solar panel. I need to...

If anyone needs the specs for the go power 190 solar panel off of the Geo Pro 19FBS here it is. I couldn't get a straight answer from anyone as they do make 2 versions of this size fyi.

my 2021 surveyor came with an 80 watt panel. I want to increase the capacity (along with a Lithium battery) and am contemplating installing a 200 watt panel. There is room for the new panel on the roof without removing the current one. I thought I would leave it in place, and in the future...

The manual wasn’t too informative or it could be me. I am assuming. The solar panel o. Top and the controller inside is pretty much hands off and always working? Is it just integrated into the electrical and works on its own when needed to charge coach batteries? Been playing around with...

Got all of the components and the weather is about right. For me, my stud finder(s) are not finding the aluminum ribs in the roof to serve as anchors. TPO roof over very thin wood and foam roofing. 2021 Coachmen Pursuit 27XPS. I want to install 4 x 200V panels. Plenty of room on the roof. But...

I'd like to purchase a solar panel kit to keep my batteries topped off while camping at no hookup camp sites. I do not want to mount this panel on the roof. I simply want a portable unit for the few times a year we may camp at a campground that has no hookups. I am concerned only with running...

Hi all I have a 2019 forest River sunseeker 3010ds with roof mounted solar panels. Driving to Florida on Thursday they ripped off the roof in NC on I-95. I just had a RV tech come and look at the roof and he said that there was water intrusion because the plywood was soft. I did my annual...

We just purchased a 2022 Flagstaff 21FBRS. It comes standard with one 190W solar panel and a 1000w Inverter. We added as an option a second solar panel of 190W. It comes standard with 1 battery. I am trying to decide if I need a second battery to expand my solar capability. Your thoughts and...
