Hello all, new to the forums and to our brand new 202RBLE. The TT came outfitted with solar and at the recommendation of the RV sales people we went with two "golf cart batteries" i believe 2 6V "wet" type batteries (hope that was a good choice). Any who, they mentioned I didn't need to keep the...

I have a 2021 Surveyor 19. I will be replacing the 80 watt panel with a 200 watt panel. I got up on the roof today with my stud finder to determine how to attach the 200 watt panel. I will mount it in a transverse orientation, as the 80 watt is installed. the brackets on the front edge...

We camp without shore power once a year. It's usually memorial day weekend when AC is not needed. My goal is simple. I have and want to use Renogy 100 Watt 12 Volt solar suitcase with a built in charge controller to keep the battery charged in order to run the lights, propane water heater...

I have a bank of lithium batteries, connected in parallel as reflected on the attached. There are solar panels connected to the load terminals, and I have an auxiliary portable panel (with a self-installed controller) to attach occasionally, as needed. I've installed two remote battery charging...

Is there a drawing of the roof that shows the construction and location of interior vertical walls, roof trusses, AC cutout, AC ducts, etc. I need to add an extra solar roof gland on the passenger side of the roof for extra solar vertical wire run. I have a 2021 Isata 3FW

Hi All, With the upgrades to the PUP, I'm ready to purchase a new solar panel. What is the most powerful panel available right now? Thoughts on a "portable" residential panel vs suitcase? I have a Victron 75/15 for the controller. Thanks, Bryan

New here do I apologize it the is in the wrong place. New 18RR wolf pup toy hauler I noted the batteries smelling solar controller said 15.6 volts. That seam high to me. Is it? No info on this controller at all. It’s a waaree. Also no solar disconnect ? Should there be a way to shut down the...

I’m planning on mounting a couple 100 watt solar panels on the roof of my grey wolf 26 DBH. The little 50 watt juice pack panel is a joke and Dosnt do much at all. I’ve been on my roof walking around and it seems pretty solid and seem like it’s sheeted with plywood that’s at least 1/2”. Can I...

We're thinking of buying a cover for our Coachman Beyond 22RB Motorhome. Should we cover the solar panels (180 watts) or make a cut out to continue solar charging of the house battery?

I am putting together an upgrade on my 2021 surveyor. I am replacing the stock battery with a 200Ahr LI and for starters one 200 W 24V portable panel. I will leave the existing 80W rooftop panel and stock PWM charge controller in place and operational. it is likely that in time I will add a...

My Forest River 2509S has a 190 W solar panel on the roof with a Go Power charge monitor / controller. I want to add more solar capacity. When using the "Solar on the side" connector to add additional solar capability, do I need to use a charge controller between the additional panels or...

Hi There, I currently have a 2021, 378FL Salem Hemisphere model and I am interested in getting a solar panel to go with the connection we have at the front of our 5th wheel. This is the first time I am looking at solar panels for it and what to do. Any information on links to the solar...

Our 2022 Surveyor Legend 19BHLE came with the 12V compressor refrigerator, which as many know takes a fair amount of power. Our trailer came with the go Power 80 watt solar panel on the roof, a 10A Go Power PWM solar controller, and the dealer gave us two 80Ahr lead acid batteries. We plan on...

New to me 2018 2860DS, the used dear hadn't a clue on the internal electrical system. I assume there is a solar charging controller if its solar ready? I'm slowly finding everything, but what am I looking for when searching for this controller? Under the bed where my converter and transfer...

We are going to be moving our 2009 ROO 233S to Texas next month. We have 2 6VDC batteries. I will still be in Illinois for an additional year and my wife will be in Texas. She most likely not use it much while down there. There is no electricity available where the camper will be parked unless I...

I don't recall seeing any options for a solar charge controller kit when we ordered our 2022 Leprechaun 319MB. It is prepped for solar, but a solar charge controller between the panel(s) and batteries is required. I have a Renogy 100 Watt monocrystalline panel and their Wanderer PWM charge...

I have a 2017 Cedar Creek Champagne. It has the original solar panel. The 2017 brochure says it was a 200 watt panel. Does anyone have the actual specification sheet? I want to add more solar and am trying to figure out if it makes sense to add another identical panel or just buy a larger new...

Anyone replace the stock 30 mpt solar controller with a 40 amp mppt controller? What did you get and did you mount it in same place? Thx

Hey all, me again. I have a 2022 forest river forester and have no clue how the solar panels work. Nor do I have a manual. There is an "Elite" panel as well which I have no clue how it works or operates. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ago

So I bought this go power solar kit. Go Power! Overlander 190W Solar Kit with 30-amp Solar Controller , black https://a.co/d/8YrFlpb My Flagstaff is pre wired for the go power solar. So if my thinking is correct I have to cut a hole where they marked as the place to install the controller. Cut...

Hi folk, we have a 2022 Forest River Salem 178BHSK. We recently upgraded the battery to two 6V 230AH batteries and added a Renogy Battery Monitor to help monitor the batteries better when in use. The batteries were installed in series as per standard practice and the Renogy battery monitor was...

Factory installed 190watt panel along with what appears to be a cheap jaboni charge controller . Since i got unit back from the factory [another story] where the solar panel was installed to cover some repairs to the roof [another story] by factory . I have been using the solar exclusively to...

I have a 2018 Sunseeker with a Solara Awning and at a recent rally the awning would not opens I checked the wiring at the switch and nothing happened and everything looked ok. After several tries I gave up but upon entering the motorhome a little while later I pressed on the button just for the...
