solar

I have a 2021 Forest river Wolfpack 23pack15 that came prewired for go power solar. I can’t find any info on the install process to setup a 190 watt panel and controller. The panel on the roof seems easy enough screw down. I have seen videos to mount the panels but not on the controller. Is it...

I have a 2022 Flagstaff MicroLite 21FBRS. It came with 190 Watt rooftop solar panels. My question is - Do I need to do anything/add something to make them work? Or will they charge my batteries automatically? Also, there is an outside port to add portable solar panels. Same question - is there...

Our Wolf Pup 16FQ has the 50-watt solar panel and a new 225ah GSM battery. Even with decent sunlight, it just doesn't keep up with our 12v fridge, as needed pumps and some lights. So even when we conserve carefully, we have to carry an extra battery or use our inverter generator to recharge our...

I have a 2022 Rockwood 2883ws fifth wheel and I'm adding a second solar array consisting of 3ea-240 watt 12v newpowa panels. I'm looking for any suggestions as to the placement of the second entrance gland. The factory installed gland routs the pre-existing wiring behind the main control panel...

Hi all, As we prepare for next year's season of RV fun, I have a couple things i'd like to prepare for. Solar trickle charging is one of them. We were finally able to put the Sabre under a roof while we store it. The result has been that the preinstalled 50w solar juice pack can't see the...

I just put in an order for a new 2023 Rockwood Signature 8262RBS TT. (We decided to downsize a bit from our current 35' 5er.) Rockwood now provides a 200W solar panel, a 1000W inverter and a 30A solar controller as standard equipment. I know that the solar controller is a Go Power GP-PWM-30-UL...

I'd appreciate any feedback from solar experts on my setup. I built it to mount in the forward pass-through storage compartment. My primary mission will be boon docking for up to 2 weeks at a time. My power budget is around 100A/ day excluding residual drain on the battery (which I've...

Several owners on this forum and FaceBook mention going with larger solar arrays - meaning 3 or more panels. Should you decide to interconnect any solar panel combination resulting in a DC voltage >= 60 V, I’ve attached the RV Industry Association’s (RVIA) recommended practice for RV mounted...

In the pile of literature that came with my X-Lite (which, naturally, I cannot locate at the moment) I recall seeing a brochure informing me that my unit is "solar ready". It also showed a picture of the connection port which appeared to be mounted on the exterior sides of their example RV. My...

I am trying to find out where the Jaboni Solar Controller is installed in my 2021 Freedom Express Ultrlite 259 travel trailer.

I just picked up my new SS-550 Badland. In trying to familiarize myself with the camper, I’m concerned my charge controller is incorrectly wired. There is nothing hooked to the “solar” input. I believe the wire hooked to the “battery” input might be the wires coming down from the solar panel...

I will be bringing my new Vibe 26RB home next week and I have some questions about the installed solar setup. It has the SOLAR CONTROLLER MODEL GP-PWM-30-SQ. I have only one battery and I don't plan on using it for long. I can connect to a 120v outlet only. I want to be able to thoroughly...

I bought a 2022 Apex Ultra Lite and it comes with built in 200w solar panel. Is there a way to easily add panels to this system? Would be nice to have three panels and 600w. Thanks

I was told i have a 190watt solar panel on the roof and want to add another but can't find 190 watt panels . i have a mppt 50 controller and it should handle a second 190 panel . anyone know what brand FR uses ? have a email into them but no word yet . going to mount on roof next to existing...

I have a 2017 Forester 3051s. It has a built in solar panel connector made by ZAMP solar. It says only use ZAMP portable solar panels. My understanding for this statement is the Zamp plug is just that. Just a plug. There is no MTTP solar controller built in the RV. And ZAMP portable solar panels...

Hey all, I'm looking for some advice on how to best run wires for roof mounted solar on my 2020 Wildwood 29VBUD. Right now the battery bank is still on the A frame, but we'll probably move to Litium and bring it inside later. Anyone done this and care to share how or have advice on how to...

Hello Forum, My wife Hope and I have owned Bertha since 2017. We have taken four cross country trips of 60 days or longer, travelled the northeast, mid Atlantic and southeast, along with shorter, local trips. We prefer to camp in National Parks, National Forests and State Parks as we take in the...

My LiFePO4 conversion of my campers took a lower priority when the “too cold” to work outside weather hit. My daughter up’d the priority when she asked me about boat access only no power available camping this summer. My priority for boondocking is my cpap. Luckily my...

My husband and I just purchased a 2022 FR East to West Alta 2600KRB. It has a 50 watt rooftop panel and a Waaree Solar Charge Controller Model# RCD1230. This is our first solar setup and cannot seem to find a manual for the Controller. Any ideas or links to find one would be great; also any...

Was testing some external solar panels panels today and voltage was good but after some additional testing, attaching the external solar controller didn't show the RV battery voltage like before. Swapped cables, tested voltage at the batteries and okay. Had lights, radio and heater going on...

Found a 300 watt power unit on WOOT! for $118 each, limit 3 per customer. IMO, an incredible deal with most units costing neat $1 per rated watt. Jackery 290 at Harbor Freight $279.99. Just received a folding solar 120watt panel from Amazon. My TT has a solar connection on the side panel front...

Can anyone tell me where the preinstalled wiring for the solar controller is located on a 2022 29VBUD? The brochure says it's behind a Go Power sticker that doesn't exist anywhere on my camper. :facepalm:

I have a brand new Forester Classic 3011DS and the PV is reversed on solar. I need to swap the positive and negative on the controller as the solar is not working. Does anyone know where the controller is located? ThankYou John

Hi All, I'm in the process of replacing my batteries with lithium along with a solar and Victron install. I'm pretty solid on almost all of the install, but find my self questioning the grounding process, especially after seeing how GD installed the stock components. I'll try my best not to...
