solar

Currently I'm an owner of a Rockwood 5th wheel, it has from the factory two 190 watt panels on the roof. I am looking to install two more 190 watt panels of the same manufacture, both sets of panels will be connected in series then these two sets of panels will be connected in parallel. As I...

I have a 2005 Salem LE which has the luan roofing (no ladder). For people who mounted solar panels using Well Nuts to secure the brackets, what are the specification well nuts did you use? How thick is the roof? Thanks

My 2608BS has, from the factory, two (2) 190w solar panels, a control panel, and a 1000w inverter. My question is when connecting additional solar panels to the factory exterior jack can I connect the panels directly to the trailer or do they need to be connected to a controller first?

I see a lot of people adding solar to their campers, but does anyone strictly use a portable solar power station? Something like a Jackery or Bluetti or another brand? Considering this as an option for some camping when we may not have electric overnight while traveling and just need lights...

This question is not specifically rv related. I have some property that I boondock on. I have a solar setup there (soon to be two) to run my rvs off of. I also have a 40' shipping container. I am wanting to put some lights in the shipping container. I have looked at the little setups with a...

I currently have my 2014 FR Berkshire 400bh on shore power at an RV resort in Florida, and all batteries are fully charged. I have to put my RV into storage for the entire month of February. However, there is no power access at the storage place. I want to maintain the batteries charged and keep...

Hi everyone, I have a 2023 Grey Wolf 26DJSE that I just purchased. I got a hell of a deal on two VMAX SLR125 AGM sealed deep cycle 12V 125Ah Batteries. I know the factory Waree setup is junk but, I’m not sure what I’ll need exactly to run my setup with the batteries that I choice. I’m looking to...

Hi All: Hoping that someone out there can give me some pointers on a typical solar set up. We bought an Atlas 3172 5th wheel a couple months ago that came with a solar panel on the roof (front right side of the roof) and a DOMETIC GP-PWM-30-SQ 30amp PWM Solar Controller. The inverter is a...

For you folks that do long term planning! The next Solar Eclipse that will be viewable in the USA will be April 8, 2024. Most CG’s won’t make reservations this far in advance but give it a try. We have made reservations at Whittington Woods CG in Whittington, IL. We were there for the previous...

Any recommendations what to use for mounting brackets for solar panels on rubber roofs? Anyone have pictures of theirs?

Friends, I know there are many of you who have done your own solar and inverter installs. Have any of you seen damage from the high DC voltage associated with desulfation or Bulk charging? I have been considering a DC regulator to ensure that the 15.5v during desulfation or 14.5v during...

Does anyone know if the 2023 xplorer solar package is the flat solar panels or if they've changed it to rigid panels? I've had terrible experience in my Winnebago with the flat panels cracking the fiberglass underneath from the heat and would like to avoid that up front. If its the flat...

We have a 2021 Flagstaff Super lite 26FKBS. It says it is prewired for solar but what does that mean? It has both plug for panels on front passenger corner and on roof. Does anyone know if it has a built in solar controller somewhere? If so where? Or where do the wires go so you can connect...

so I just got my 2023 grey wolf 23mkbl and I am trying to replace the factory waaree solar controller with a renogy voyager controller I have and can not get the controller to recognize the factory waaree solar panels that are installed.I can hook the renogy panels up by the side box where the...

I have a 190W GoPower overlander panel with the GoPower GP-PWM-30-UL controller. Max solar input voltage is 35v so adding another panel would be limited to wiring in parallel. My original plan was to just add another 190W GoPower panel but at over $500 that is not an option. My question is can...

We have a new 2022 Cedar Creek Champagne 38EL 5th-wheel trailer and it came standard with a solar panel on the roof and a Go Power GP-PWM-30-SQ charge controller. I'm wondering if I need to have the battery disconnect on (battery connected) for the charge controller to charge the battery. I...

I read with interest the other thread about converting to lithium, but using the stock hardware. This was my plan, and I have lots of other projects, so whenever I can use a stock item and reduce waste, I will. Setup: 2022 Nobo 19.5 with stock solar and 12v only fridge. Microwave was DOA on day...

I'm a very happy solar user. 400 watts of Renology on the roof and 2 x 6-volt FCLAs on the tongue allow me to boondock indefinitely (absorption fridge). If you're thinking about solar, this might be a good time to invest. Just got hit with an ad on FB showing 100 watt Renology panels for $85...

I would like to install 4 100 w panels on the roof of my Rockwood. I don't like climbing around on the roof now that I am in my 70s. I called the only local RV dealer that does this kind of thing. They quoted me a labor rate of $140 per hour. I cannot even believe this. Who else might be...

I was wondering, if you can do the 30% tax credit at tax time? Thanks

I am new to pop up camping. I just purchased a 2022 forest river rockwood 1910 sport pop up camper. I have the solar package and I can't for the life of me figure out how to switch to running the lights off of battery power. I spent about an hour trying to figure it out. Any help would be...

I have a 2023 Rpod model 201. As part of standard equipment, it came from the factory with a 200 watt solar panel, 30 amp controller and a 2000 watt inverter. I plan to upgrade my battery to a 100 Ahr LiFePo battery. To avoid juice coming into the battery from the solar system while I'm...

I added a 110 watt solar cell and an inverter with two electronic mouse chasers for winter storage. I am hoping it gets enough sunlight even with Michigan snow to Lee my battery above 50% running the inverter and normal parasitic load...

We have a early year 2020 Real Lite 1604 with the solar connectors on the roof and a 115 ah AGM battery. We are looking at 2 or 3, 100watt flexible solar panels for the roof. Is it just a plug and play scenario or is there a charge controller we need to invest in? I understand that gluing these...

Wondering if the solar system in my 2022 DynaQuest 3801TS charges the truck batteries.
