solar

Hey all I have a 2021 FR Rockwood G20BHS. Looking to add 200W solar to the existing 200W. My studfinder is not working so accurately that I would trust it through the roof. Is there a better way to find solid wood than just to try to line up my new panel with the old?

Just bought a Jayco Jay Flight 194RB SLX with Solar and a tankless water heater. When using the sink the water heater has an error unless the shower or bathtub hot water has been run first. I was told it may need to be programmed is that a dealer thing or can I do it myself? Also, was...

Don't know if this has been discussed before.. Now here's a smart idea... if it works. A 800, 1000 or 1200 watt power awning that automatically retracts in the wind. Not cheap, but definitely a possibility if it works. https://xponentpower.com/

Hello all. I’ve done a few searches on the subject and there’s a lot of opinions and people telling folks what to buy, but I don’t see any links to resources to learn solar power. I really want to understand how to decide what to get/install on my own. I don’t have the first clue, for example...

Hi everyone.new to Winnebago’s not RVing. Has anyone added to the current solar system it came with? We like to go boondocking.

As many of you know, that sales pitch on your rig being "solar ready", can be quite a stretch of the imagination. On my 2020 Outback 341RD, it simply meant the Zamp input port on the side and nothing else. It is meant to be directly connected to the battery/bus. I say 'meant' because on mine...

We have a 2024 2205S with a single 200W panel on the roof. I want to add one more to the roof and understand that the new panel would need to match the output specs of the existing. What exactly needs to match and how do I find out what the factory installed 200W specs are?

Hi All; I am extremely new to how solar power works in our RV, so please understand that the questions I am about to ask may seem very basic, but I need some help. We just got our new 5th wheel (Cougar 2023 320rds) a few weeks ago and are going over everything to make sure it all works. When...

Does anyone know how the 190 watt flexible solar panels are attached to the roof of the Isata 3s? I would like to move mine over so that I can install another one next to it. On my last trailer I had to remove one because it burned out. It had been glued down. Trying to remove it caused total...

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?

I have a 2016 Thor Axis 24.1 I got tired of outrages RV Park Fee's and decided to do something about it. We generally stay in a location for 3 or more days. I decided that we could Dry camp (boondock) instead of paying high price rv park fee's. The Axis 24.1 is perfect for camping because it is...

Hello, we have a 2022 cougar 25res and the solar has not working i fear from day one. solar is on and bulk keeps registering and 0 wattage or volts on app. batteries are charged 100%. Any thoughts and osftware up to date. told to check connections on roof on solar what are you looking for...

I've read a lot (not everything) and I'm trying like heck to educate myself on this solar thing. I'm still slightly confused about some stuff and just when I believe I understand another curve ball gets thrown at me. I was hoping to possibly get some some guidance from the experts on a few...

Boondocking, no generator, in perhaps a shady forest for a couple nights so not sure how much the rooftop 200W solar panel will top off our TT FLA deep cycle. We may be running the furnace/lights that will consume battery power. In the event we don't have enough juice left to retract our 12VDC...

Hi everybody. My first post. I have a 2018 R-Pod 180. I'm wiring for solar charging. The solar panel connection was damage by too much sun so that is in the process of being replaced. I have removed the seat panel for the dinette seat with the converter. I am installing the new lipo 12-volt...

I just purchased a lightly used 2022 Flagstaff 524BBS (it actually looks brand new). This is the 1st RV I've owned with a solar panel & solar charge controller installed. My question is when I am plugged into ship power what is charging the batteries? The converter or the solar??? On my previous...

Hi, I understand that my 23 Bullet Crossfire 1900RD does not come with an inverter. I was curious though about the term ‘residential refrigerator option’. It was listed with an asterisk in a Solarflex document that explained that my model DOES include a factory installed inverter, IF it has the...

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...

We recently purchased a solar ready 2014 Hawk. We've got the pre-installed plugs on the roof and the rear driver side of the camper. I now need to purchase a solar system which will include a controller and panel(s). The camper also has two 12 volt dep cycle batteries on it. The sky is not the...

Hey All. Thought I would post and share my findings from my Weekend Boondocking Solar trip, keeping in mind everyones Solar numbers will vary with their setup, and location. First to mention, the days were in the mid 80's with partially sunny days. A beautiful Fall like weekend to say the...

I just bought a 2023 Cougar 22 MLSWE with the 400i solar package with inverter and 2 Lithium Ion batteries. I was wondering if anyone else has this system and how they made out camping off grid for 3 days.

Hello, The wife and I just bought a new to us 2018 keystone rv passport 2900rk grand touring and 40 acres of land. No power so we have a generator and want to go Solar. We bought a solar package that included ‎6*100W mono solar panels - 1* 60A controller - 2*50AH lithium battery - 1*1100W 12V...

New RVer here, still learning and a lot I do not know, with a 2022 Sunseeker 3010DS, second owner, has GoPower solar. From what I can see, there’s a chassis battery under the hood and 2 flooded batteries under the side entrance step. I plugged in the battery model number and it pops up as...

Bought a 2022 Winnebago Minnie 2327TB in October 2022. Solar panel on roof, one wet deep cycle battery (i had the dealership where we bought it put on an extra battery for the trip described below). Had it out twice but at full hookup CGs. On Sept 4th we landed in a primitive CG in upstate NY...

New and proud owner of a used 2021 Forest River A213HW trailer. We set it up yesterday outside of the house and are waiting for some rain to make sure there are no leaks and to get familiar with it before we go camping. Ive been trying to understand the electrical and what it will take to add...
