solar panel

I want to get an additional solar panel for our E-Pro 19FD but the ones at the dealers are all bulky and heavy. They tell me one of the reasons is because they have an integrated Charge Controller. Other brands of solar panels, for example Rockpal, are both lighter and less bulky not to mention...

These new 200W panels look promising for adding to the roof of my Xplorer 30FW or on new Xplorer units that Dynamax is building. https://gpelectric.com/products/solarflex-eclipse-190-watt-expansion/ The are 55x27' whereas the 100W panels are 45x21. Not much difference. Brian, do you have any...

I am about to mount an extra 800w (4 x 200w) of solar on the roof of my Rockwood 2622RK 5h wheeler, It came with one 190w solar panel and this is just enough to run my 12v Magic Chef Refrigerator. Panels are 670mm x 1500mm and I am planning to use 60mmx 60mm aluminium angle brackets around 500mm...

I wanted to remove the batteries from our FBS19 with the factory solar package so that I could store them in my garage and maintain them over the winter. I asked our dealer and was told that I had to cover the solar panel and remove some wires from the back of the solar controller to disable...

What would be the best way to disconnect the panel from controller. So I have a pre installed go power 100 watt panel (I believe) and a cheap go power 30amp charge controller. I have been liking the idea of the solar rabbit hole but wanted to get a way to disconnect the solar panel from the...

My Rockwood came with a solar system installed (not just prewired). It has an inverter, controller and everything else to recharge batteries. There is also A connection on the front to add portable panels. My question is: Is this plug and play?

Hi guys, So my dad has a crazy idea to for a hybrid solar assisted electric RV. So that's a hybrid RV that has assisted solar too. I understand that this is ambitious - but is it even possible? Thanks! :thumb:

Hello world of Forester's owners. I'm a new owner of a 2021 2251LE Does anyone have a roof picture of this rig or can comment? I need to find out what space is available for a 300W+ solar panel. I will be getting my rig in the spring so I have no access to it for the moment. I will be...

Does anyone know where the inline fuse is that goes to the red positive cable? I have a 2022 Rockwood minilite 2511s. I spoke with GoPower - they said there is an inline fuse to shut off. But they don't know where the manufacturer would put it. The goal is to shut off the fuse, cover the...

I just wondered, even for those who want the max lithium systems to run everything off batteries, is leaving off the solar panels an option? And charging them strictly by other means a decent alternative? For instance if you don't plan on staying put for any long periods without driving the...

How do I figure out how much power my solar panels are generating in a 45ca with 525 watts of solar? It’s a new rig with no extra gadgets. Only the solar was put on extra from factory.

We have two 200W portable panels we use several times a year when boondocking in our 2007 Journey 34SE. We have been positioning them for best exposure and simply connecting them to our batteries (four deep cycle AGM 6v wired to give 12V) with alligator type clips. So, last week some slick...

Our first dry camping experience left me underwhelmed by the performance of the solar installation, especially the rear group. When we got home I got out the ladder to have a look at the panels & wiring. As soon as I stuck my head over the roof line it was immediately obvious why the rear...

I’d like to put two hard solar panels on my 2108ds rubber roof. However, I don’t want to screw the mounts into the roof. Has anybody installed hard panels on a rubber roof using vhb tape and velabond? I was thinking the risk of the rubber roof detaching from substructure could be reduced or...

We have a Micro Lite 21DS 2015 that I’m planning to install solar. Looking for the best methods for mounting. I think it has a membrane type roof. From what I’m hearing most people are recommending not to use the adhesive mounts on a membrane roof. I believe I can mount them and protect...

We have a factory installed solar panel in our 2021 21FBRS. We store our trailer in a outdoor lot. We would like to remove our 2 golf cart batteries and put them on a trickle charger at home over the winter, more as a theft protection measure. Since the solar panel will be receiving sunlight all...

I got up on the roof for the first time and noticed that I have 3 solar panels. But one of them are not hooked up. Never have been as there is not a way to. It has 4 screws attached and not sealed like the rest… I got up there because I felt like I had an issue with solar charging this past...

My husband and I recently purchased our Geo Pro 20BHS. We parked it in outdoor sunny storage and came back a week later to a dead battery. We’ve got it recharged and good to go, but my question is how did the battery go dead if there is solar power? After the fact we realized we did not turn...

Hey all, finding lots of info on mounting solar panels but nothing that really jumps out at me. Got a few questions if anyone has ideas 1. I'm pretty sold on unistrut, but some people say they wouldn't bolt it through the channels.. why is that? is it a thermal bridging kind of issue? 2...

I learned this the hard way. We just returned home from an eight day seven night road trip with our Palomino SS1251. The second night we were supposed to stay in a camp ground near Youngstown Ohio. The weather was bad, driving was slow and bad so we stopped short and got a room in Sandusky...

I took the inside cover off my maxaire vent in the bathroom to see if I could determine my roof construction. The image is what I found. Looks like 1/2" plywood covered by EPDM. I have ducted a/c so there is quite a bit of space between the upper roof and inside ceiling. It is a crowned roof. I...
