solar

This is actually a request to help my sister who is trying to keep her 2019 Isata 3 batteries charged while her power is out near Asheville NC. She has only had the MH for a few months and decided to replace the coach batteries with LiFePO4 batteries and added an additional 100W solar panel...

We have a 2018 Cherokee limited that has a plug in on the outside by the bedroom door for solar. Came like that off the lot when we got it new. Does anyone know if this is a plug and play type deal or do I need to get extra stuff to use solar panels for power?

I have a 2021 1608 Badlands Edition with the glued on 100 watt panel. It only puts out less that 2 amps per hour in direct sunlight. Is this the expected standard? My portable 200 watt panel hits 10 amps per hour is similar light. I'm wondering of there is a defect or is just just a low...

As the title says I do not have battery power at the solar on the side connector. 2020 rockwood mini lite 2109s model. The usb plug ins on both bed sides are inop. I removed the power center and all the fuses are good and the wires have power and appear to go under the floor to the front of the...

My 2024 Flagstaff Microlite 22FBS has the power pack upgrade (1000w solar, 470ah LiFePo, 3000w inverter) but I cannot figure out how to Bluetooth connect to the charge controller. Does anyone know what brand controller it comes with, and does it have Bluetooth capabilities?

I'm upgrading the solar panel installation on our Northern Spirit 1943RB, it came with a single 100W panel which I'm replacing with 2 x 200W, I'm ready to install but cannot decide what fasteners to use on the mounting brackets, anyone know what the 1943RB roofing material and thickness is...

I want to cover my RV roof with a tarp to protect against sun damage. I also want my solar panel to continue running to keep the battery charged. I put a clear vinyl window in the roof tarp, over the solar panel. I noticed a drop in the amps going to the battery, but everything still seemed...

I have a 2020 XLR Micro Boost 25LRLE and need some help on the "Solar Ready" location. I just purchased the unit used and confirmed the Go Power connection on the roof but since the previous owner removed all of the internal stickers, I do not know where the leads from the roof connection and...

I'm adding a couple of 100w ground panels and a second SCC. Our roof array has plenty of capacity in sun, but we always camp in shade when possible. I've over-paneled so this is usually OK, but not always. I think 200w on the ground will be enough to make up the difference when we need it if I...

Hello, does anyone know where the solar panel is located on a 2005 Dynamax Isata 280SL ? there is a control box ?? on the left side of the main kitchen cabinet so there must be solar somewhere? thank you

Hello RV forum community, My rig is a 2021 36HBQ Sabre, I recently replaced my lead acid batteries with a pair of Agm Optima Blue tops. The unit has a Waaree IP68 solar charge controller. The problem, while connected to shore power the volts start escalating upwards as high as 16 volts. I have...

How can I determine the appropriate (or allowable) rating for an external solar panel (Flagstaff Microlite 22FBS). The label next to the plug says 20 amps. I assume that's the upper limit. But if I use a vary basic panel, with 400 milliamps output, will that keep the battery charged on a sunny day?

I just bought a 2020. It has a solar plug. Someone told me it is plug and play for a 300watt panel. Doesn’t it need a controller? Maybe I have own, but I haven’t come across one yet. Could it be part of the Power Distribution Center? I have a flyer from SOLAR ON THE SIDE. Is says my RV is...

Hi, My new RV came with a roof top 150W solar panel and a Go Power controller in the dinette area. It also has a Furrion solar plug on the outside. Can I plug in a portable solar panel for some additional solar power? Or does the factory installed unit override or otherwise make inoperable the...

My first post...I hope I'm in the right spot. I could use your help. I have a brand new 2022 Puma 26FKDS with a factory 190 watt panel on the roof and a 30 amp Aims controller. The controller shows battery voltage, condition, temp, etc., but shows no current or voltage from the solar panel...

Hi everyone, I’m new here and have a question about dry camping and using solar as our main power source. My e-pro came with solar, inverter and two batteries already installed. When I turn the inverter on, only the outlets work. No lights or water pump. Is this normal? I would assume the...

2023 27DSE Solera. I'm wanting to upgrade to lithium. In the desire to keep the batteries in the step and get as many Ah as possible, it looks like I can get 2 Victron 200 Ah batteries in the step (I know, expensive). It looks like I would also need to use the Victron Energy Smart BMS 12/200...

We have a new to us Palomino Puma FKDS with solar on the side. I can’t tell how this solar port is connected. I checked with a multimeter and there is no power at the port and I can’t tell how it is connected. Of course, there are no manuals for this either. Questions: Should I be able to get...

Does anyone know the size of the "crush washers/nuts" that hold the pin for the gas struts/awning arms. Thanks (RV in storage so cannot get to measure)

Hi, does anybody know the specs of the solar panels on a 21 36DS, and are they connected in serial or parallel on the roof? I want to add a couple more and need to get as close to the original specs as possible Thanks Nick

I recently had a local RV shop add a 200w panel in addition to the stock 80w panel on our 2021 Forest River Surveyor BHLE for a total of 280w. The solar controller was upgraded to a Go Power! GP-PWM-30-UL feeding two Battleborn 100ah batteries wired in parallel. There are three sets of...

Hi All, We just acquired a 2018 DX3 TS and was wondering if anyone on this forum happened to be the previous owner OR was the one who may have done the install of the solar on the roof. We noticed on the drive home from picking up our new home that only part of the solar panels are working and...

Good sale on Amazon for the long CIGS 100watt panels at $219. $30 coupon off on one & found a $25 gift card recently. Ordered two. Same specs as the 100 watt compact models that I currently have. I cut out a cardboard template a while back and checked out available roof space. These are the...

I just purchased a 2020 Rockwood Ultralight 2604WS. It has a plug for solar, but I am sure that it needs a converter of some kind, and I can't anything. I also can't find the electrical panel. Seems odd, maybe they are in the same place. I assume there is an electric panel. I come from the...
