solar

Have 2024 Dynamax Isata 3, Freedom Series (no propane). Has 2 lithium batteries with 590W of solar panels. I'm not mechanically inclined. I've had reason to believe solar panels aren't charging batteries - purely off my experience with previously owned travel trailer. Ran "experiment". It's in...

I’m hoping to get some advice regarding adding solar (either fixed or portable) to my 2022 Grey Wolf 26DBH. I don’t really know anything about it, and I find that Google has been a bit too confusing. What would it take to set it up? How much power do I need it to capture to run my...

Hi All, new to the forum and have a question for the electrically minded...since FR doesn't supply wiring diagrams my stop point is this: Solar is sized and installed and ready to hook up both the A/C panel as well as the 12 volt panel. My confusion is on the shore power connection, I am...

I added a solar setup to the cedar creek and now the battery doesn't seem to take a charge when hooked to shore power. I added 2- 200w renogy panels, renogy 40a mppt controller with BT, 10ga cables, 1 renogy 200ah lithium battery, and renogy 2000w inverter. I swapped out the factory converter to...

Does the OEM 2014 Solara have a smart charger so that I can buy two 12 V-AGM batteries for my coach electrical system?

Hello fellow Escapees... We have and love our just 3 year old NE 21 . We largely have not used the solar system as primary since we bought LookScape. We are in adirondaks for a week and we start at full nankncharge..lithium batteries... only have fridge on propane and use DC lights at night...

Hi all, I apologize if this question has been asked and answered but I've spent a few hours online and haven't even found anyone asking this question. I have a 2022 Geo Pro 15TB with Solar on the Side. The connector (20A) goes directly to the battery and is not reverse wired polarity wise...

Hello everyone, I recently installed a no frills 200 watt solar kit. It's working fine, it appears. When I connect to shore power should I disconnect the solar, or leave it alone and let the controller take over? I did wire in a kill switch on the positive lead, so it's easy enough to switch...

I've looked everywhere online and can't find if these are the solar prep wires coming from my roof. no stickers besides saying Battery + and battery - no other solar prep stickers or branding besides near the door. I found this black box and wires under my front storage compartment (see...

First time to post and would like to find a lot of guidance! Presently have 2022 grey wolf limited 23mk. Traded for it used and the dealer is almost no help I realize after some looking around on my own. Limited paperwork and called the factory thinking I bring a VIN and gett all the info on the...

Hello all new friends, yesterday i picked up my 2024 sanstorm. i brought my rig home and start doing the in the driveway check stuff and show the boss ( my wife 😁). I started my genny to run the AC for a bit we like to dry camp. The is equiped with genny inverter and solar. After shutting off my...

I have a 2017 t12rb a frame that is "solar ready". I've purchased a 100W panel, I know where the external SAE plug is but not sure where to install a controller, or if I need one? My understanding is I need one to safeguard overcharging. (I don't have the Zamp brand so I've ordered the reverse...

I'll be installing 600W solar on my TT soon, and I'd like opinions on this diagram. Any obvious errors you see? The 400W and 200W panels are different voltages, thus dual controllers. Batteries are already in place.

My wife and I are new to a trailer with solar. On my 2014 trailer, which did not have solar, I would use the battery disconnect when parking the trailer for extend periods of unuse. Do I need to do that for my new 24View trailer with solar?

I have a 2018 GeoPro 19FD. It has a GoPower 20W PWM solar controller, and a 100W panel. The panel is pretty well done after 6 years, I get less than .5amp in full sunlight. I decided that I was going to replace the solar panel, then I thought that I need more solar and lithium (which the...

Hello everyone, I'm about to begin my solar "adventure", nothing crazy, just a two panel 200 watt setup, roof mounted. I've not yet decided if I'm going to use the screws and brackets included with the kit, or use plastic(abs?) corner supports and lap sealant. Will I hit anything using 1 5/8...

Hi all. Just installed a 300ah LiFePO4 battery this morning. Changed the Solar Charge Controller over to LFP battery. I believe it is reading the correct voltage where my battery is at now, about 13.4, but the SOC has said nothing but 100% all day when the battery display shows 86%. Do I have a...

I recently purchased 2017 2019s. It has sticker bu door ‘Solar Ready, Zamp Powered’. It has second sticker towards front trailer by plug. I can’t make sticker out but I think it says, ‘Only use 2amp solar portable charging system’ Newer 2019S says 20amp which would make more sense Is my 17...

I found old posts partially addressing this question but couldn't find more. I have a 2022 wolf pup 16fqbl. Has juice pack. Has the waree solar controller. Wiring apparently joins the hot from the panel to a fuse and to the battery. All solar controllers I see that support lithium...

Skipping long preamble (as its just me griping about my experience with my dealer).. skipping to the details. Ever since I purchased my Forester 2401B.. there was a clicking noise. No one at the dealership (or another repair place I went to) could tell me what it was. I have had...

Thanks to all who replied to my previous post. Looks like I have lots of great info and some homework to do. Thanks all much. Great data base out there.

I have 2- 205watt panels, that I'm going to mount utilizing steel post, and make it so I can swivel it, to follow the sun. It will be probable be 40' or so from where I'm parking the 5th wheel. My question is should I mount the controller right by the panels, or close to my battery bank on the...

New Rockwood 2891BH fifth wheel has solar setup with Go Power PWM 30 UL controller and WFCO 1000 watt WF-5110R inverter. My last travel trailer did not have an inverter that could be changed to AC pass through mode so this is new to me. I read both manuals and don’t understand application of AC...

I am a total newbie on solar. I have a Minilite 2109S with a 100 watt solar panel on the roof. I am trying to figure out what I can run on that if I boondock and what I would need to boondock with an additional portable solar panel. The unit is 2023, so it is solar ready. I don't have any...

I just installed the new GoPower 30 AMP controller - they sent it to me for free after I installed a lithium battery and older controller kept blinking when the charge was full .. Question .. it has a solar input shut off feature. As Lithium batteries hold juice well, I park outside and get a...
