solar

New RVer here, still learning and a lot I do not know, with a 2022 Sunseeker 3010DS, second owner, has GoPower solar. From what I can see, there’s a chassis battery under the hood and 2 flooded batteries under the side entrance step. I plugged in the battery model number and it pops up as...

New and proud owner of a used 2021 Forest River A213HW trailer. We set it up yesterday outside of the house and are waiting for some rain to make sure there are no leaks and to get familiar with it before we go camping. Ive been trying to understand the electrical and what it will take to add...

Does anyone know where to source either 10AWG or 12AWG twin core solar cable with SAE (Zamp) connectors at each end? 30-35-40 feet in length? I've spent several hours googling and am coming up empty. At first I though I would just get the wire and add the SAE connectors myself. But I can't find...

We brought home a 2024 ePro 19FD. Sitting in the driveway and on day 5 (with 3 or 4 hours of sun per day) the solar controller showed error “32 LuE”. And there is no juice. Not even interior lights. We barely used the interior lights. No use of the pump (no water hooked up), no use of the...

My Isata 3 has the Go Power 100W panels (2) on the roof, and I'd like to add another 200W. I'm about to replace the Go Power PWM controller with a Victron MPPT, and am interested in the Renogy flexible panels. The Go Power panels are quite expensive and I can't tell much difference. Are the...

Does anybody have solar readings from their JAYCOMMAND display solar settings from the Overlander 2 package for both cloudy days and sunny days with the two 200watt panels on the roof? Also readings when the RV batteries are fully charged? RV is on a storage lot on batteries only. RV is a 2023...

Thank you, forum members, for all the advice. My 2022 23MK came with a 150 Watts of solar and (1) 12-volt Deep Cycle battery. It would not keep the 12V Refrigerator going for 12 hours and dry camping is something we occasionally like to do. A few before, during and after pictures attached. I...

Jaboni Solar Charge Controller Issues My "new-to-me" 2021 Berkshire 34B has 1 rooftop solar panel, a 30 amp-MPPT Jaboni solar charge controller with the remote display mounted on the base of the bed in back. Ever since I have owned this coach, the remote display has not been working. It won't...

Our motorhome came with 200watts of solar and a Go Power GP-PWM-30-SQ controller. I swapped out the AGM batteries for LiFePo a few years ago but never changed the controller, and the controller has no lithium setting, just GEL, AGM, lead acid and calcium. I was told back then to keep it on the...

Hi! I am new to ths forum and just purchased a 2023 31KQBTS. It was delivered without a battery, so I bought one but don't want to mess it up when installing. In addition to the + and negative cables there are some labeled "solar". Do they go to the 12V battery?

Mine will be somewhat bigger and all of it under the bed. I'll also be rerouting the OEM batt wires, since I want to use that space, once it is unoccupied. I also will not be needing alternator charging.

I have 400 watts of solar panels on the roof. I want to get a portable kit to augment those panels when we have obstructions (trees) at our site. (Thinking of making my own from a pair of 75 watt Newpowa panels) Since the Zamp plug goes directly to the battery and the portable kit would have...

Does anyone know where the solar charging controller is typically located on this model or similar models? I have manuals for a MeTer MT-1 charging meter which is located at the entry door to the coach and a Dual Solar Charging Controller which I have been in able to locate anywhere inside the...

A little whine with my crackers, please. I’m using external wiring for my TT mounted solar panels. I prefer the SAE types with the two wires made as zip cord for routing. I use a Y adapter with two MC4 to an SAE. I now have two. Both come with one red and one black wire. The red wire has the...

We just bought a Energizer Ultimate solar generator. Can we hook up our generator to charge the 2015 Salem Forest River RV batteries?

We have a pre-wired solar port on the side of our Puma 16QBX. It's wired directly to the batteries. We did add 200W on the roof and a 2000W inverter at time of purchase in 2022. We have a foldable 110W solar panel that I would like to use with the "Solar on the Side". But I don't know what kind...

I think I'm starting to get this solar thing. But I just want to hear what y'all thoughts are on what I have and want to end up with. (I am sure that I couldn't of ever been an electrician) I have a 2020 Sunseeker Sle Class C This is what I already have installed in my RV: ___________________...

We own a Forest river CC Hathaway 2018 RE34 with the factory solar prep. Anyone got a clue as to how much solar the stock wires can handle. OPtions? Higher voltage etc. I would want 400-800 watts.

Hello, I would need advice solving my problem. Our rv is an Epro 16bh. In summary, we no longer had power between the solar panel and the controller (symbol of a moon on a sunny day). After several tests with a multimeter, I was able to identify that it was the electrical wires behind the...

We’re having apparent problems with the GP PWM-30-UL BMS/charge controller, possibly not charging our two Battle Born BB10012 LiFePO4 batteries (stored externally). Does anyone know of a comparable MPPT unit (alleged to be much more reliable and effective) that we might use in place of the...

Hello all, Went to check on 2021 rockwood and found my 2. 12volt batteries dead, measured voltage at 2.10 volts across the 2 batteries!!! Not good, these are original batteries, when I went inside trailer I thought, because I had full California sun, I could at least turn on a LED light, but, no...

We just got our new Geo Pro with 2 x 190w solar panels. It's been interesting to watch the solar controller register the day's solar power "harvest" in volts and amps. But with a trip a few weeks away, is it really best just to shut it all down in the meantime? And, is this best done by turning...

Has anyone used the load connection on their solar charge controller? If so, what did you connect it to (use it for)? I know it is not necessary but seems like a waste to not do so. Looking for best uses here.

My 2022 Coachmen Leprechaun 260DS has pre wired solar plugs on the roof. Does anyone know where the lead too? I would like to add a solar controller and hook up to the battery after I install panels on the roof. Thanks Kenny The Road Dog

We just picked up our new Geo Pro 19FDS, which has 2 x 100 Solar Panels and the Go Power Solar Controller pre-installed in the unit. My question is this: if I plug my 200 watt portable solar panel into the Solar on the Side port, should the additional solar output register on the pre-installed...
