    Roof Mounted Solar 12 V Charging System with 2nd battery?

    One of the options I am looking at for the new Forester 2351le is the roof mounted solar 12v charging system with a second battery. Has anyone had this option added to their RV? My question is what else do I need to purchase to have the solar system operational?

    Some 12V Battery & Charging Questions

    Took our new Roo out for its first dry camping trip. I had already noticed that the batteries the dealer included are 2 24DP in parallel. I had never used a dual purpose over deep cycle and noted that the combined RC was only 200 vs. 280 for 2 24DC. Well, I wasn't too impressed with the...

    Checking tow vehicle charging

    There has been a lot of discussion lately about whether or not tow vehicles will charge the trailer's batteries. What do you think of this test method: 1. Disconnect trailer battery and leave it "rest" for an hour or so. Now would be a good time to open the door on the fridge and let it warm...

    Is there a secret to charging a phone using the USB charging station beside the Murphy bed? The electrical outlet works, but I can’t get any power through the USB port. Thanks.
