I just purchased the new trailer and there is a single solar panel on the roof at the rear of the trailer on the right side. It wasn't addressed during our walkthrough. I noticed it at home and called the dealer but nobody knows what it is for. It's not on the spec sheet and the salesman says...
Just picked up my 2021 3011DS. Looks like they have moved from the GoPower to a company called Waaree. There wasn't any documentation in the package with all the manuals and I can't find a part number for the panel. Anyone have a part number or specs for this thing?
Thanks in advance.
Hello -
We are in the configuration process and plan to order the following for a new 21C: One solar panel (190w); Solar port for additional panel if needed; One lithium battery; 1500w inverter.
We live in Western Nevada and typically camp w/o hook-ups. The areas where we usually camp get...
This kit is in near new condition and was used maybe twice. Normally over $400 Canadian for new. Will take $300 for this. This unit comes wth a controller so ideal for those trailers without a solar kit.
I live in Richmond, BC if anyone in the area is interested. Email me at...
Has anyone upgraded their solar panel on their 5th wheel. Ours came with a 50watt panel. We do a lot of Boondocking and I have upgraded the batteries to (2)200ah Lithium batteries. But I want to upgrade the solar panels so we don’t have to run the generator at all. The solar panel says the...
Replacing solar roof bracket
When our daughter's solar panel catastrophically failed, we removed the panel and continued our trip. We've now discovered that the panel movement and flexing caused additional damage.
In the 2019 and 2020 units, the solar panel brackets have a bolt that goes...
I received a solar panel on the roof of my 22RBHL, which was an unexpected bonus. However, I can't find any documentation or information anywhere that tells me the power in watts.
My simple voltmeter shows I'm getting 20 - 25v recently but I'd like to try find out how many watts it should be...
Asking $100
I removed the FWC Zamp panel to lay down 3 flexible panels to go to 300W, with room to add another 100W.
Comes with the factory Z mounts. The panel is six years old, so it may be about 155 Watts. It's awkward to ship but it may be possible.
(Those are rain drops, not scratches on...
Hi everyone,
We just got our first ever camper and I was hoping someone could help us figure out the solar. It’s a 2021 Salem hemisphere 378FL and it came from the factory with a single solar panel on the roof. I see there’s also a charge controller in the front compartment. I thought that was...
We have a 2020 Real Lite pop-up truck camper and added a cheap Coleman 40 watt solar panel to keep the battery topped up between week-end trips. It has 2 alligator clips that we clip on the charging port under the overhang and it works well for what it is intended. We are planning to do some off...
Hello. I installed some solar panels using the standard z-bracket with two screws on each into the roof. I put a strip of butyl tape under the bracket before setting it on the roof. The screw goes through the butyl tape. I covered the screw heads with Dicor self-leveling sealant.
Do I need to...
We are adding a second solar panel to our build at Cedar Creek. Would anyone know if the solar panels assist in charging the RV batteries along with the tow vehicle umbilical while being towed? Would be sweet if they did.
Somewhere here I read a thread about the different types of solar panels. I’d appreciate finding it or any other info on what type to buy. Getting ready for spring projects on the TT.
Hi,
Is it necessary to get extra portable solar panel to plug in for more power? Or is the one pre installed good enough?
Please let me know if you are using extra solar panel to get more power
thank you

Have a Riverstone 5th wheel with solar panels. Does anyone know if I park the rig under a carport will that adversely affect the solar panels and how they perform in the rig?
I am purchasing a Roodwood Mini Lite 2104S which the dealer is setting up as I speak. It was shipped to the Dealer with a Solar Panel. I am being told they are putting a standard Deep cell battery standard size in the camper..... The black battery case is much longer than your normal battery...
I’m looking to install a few solar panels on the roof of my TT. Does anyone know what’s under the roof membrane on this model, 2104s? The roof material seems to be some kind of rubber. The roof is slightly curved. I’ve read about using two sided tape but I’m worried that wouldn’t work properly...
Just wondering what precautions are needed when installing a battery disconnect when there are solar panels involved. We want to remove the batteries for the winter.
Greetings Folks,
I have one 100W solar panel on the roof of my RV and I am going to install a 100W solar panel and just tie it in parallel.
So since I have never done anything like this before any special advice is certainly welcome.
*** Do I install the new one along side of it or in...
