solar

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...

Hey All, Looking to move from the PUP to a GeoPro. I see for the most part all the fridges are set up for 12V or Shore. That said, what is a realistic amount or solar that one would need/want to keeo one of the GEOPROs going for a week? I know the answer is subjective, but ballpark. Minimal...

I have a 2022 flagstaff 8529 csb that I am installing 4 100 watt solar panels on. My problem is the rats nest of wires behind the sticker on the switch panel. The two wires going to the battery are clearly marked and are capped off and terminate behind the sticker. The wires from the roof are...

I have a 200w goPower solar panel with 30a controller hooked up to two lithium batteries in parallel. I have the vampire 12v GE fridge that drains most of the battery juice. I am planning to add an inverter and I am out of room to connect it to battery posts except by alligator clip, which is...

I am doing research on how to best upgrade or update my current RV system. My current setup 2 interstate 60 amp hour batteries 10 amp go power controller 2 100 watt solar panels Norcold fridge works only on 12 volt power. I want to get to a point where my fridge stays running all night...

I have a New Euro 2024. It has a Victron Energy Blue Solar PWM Light 12/24V-10A on it. Serial number SCC010010000. It has two batteries not lithium. I have one solar panel 100W. The problem is there is only one storage area on the Euro. That has the controller in it. So I have to pull...

All My dealer did not show what my solar panel can run and how. I have a 2023 Cedar Creek 5.th wheel. I bought it new 2 months ago. It was factory installed 1 panel. Sorry rookie on solar. Thanks Chuck

Had the chance to really test the solar I installed 2 years ago. We supported the 12 volt fridge and all other common loads for 6 days without needing the generator in sun from 10am until sundown 350 watts flat on the roof with 250 aH of AGM batteries The BEST quality batteries you can...

Can I plug a sae plug from a trickle charger (110v) into the factory solar on the side inlet to charge battery when parked at home. Don't want to leave 30amp power cord connected all the time. Don't want a solar panel.

Hey everyone, New to the camping world and the wife and I bought a new to use 2014 269 BHDSK solaire palomino early this year. The slide is working but had it get stuck one time and was able to give it a little push to help it out and it has not done it again. I can’t seem to find the over ride...

Hi all, I don't know what, I don't know. Preface, I am well versed in residential electrical applications. Looking to find someone that has already converted their older Rockwood for solar. I have no idea what components to get that won't be obsolete in the future and are maintainable. I am...

Hi, We just ordered a 2025 Grand Surveyor 253RLS, and it comes with 400w of solar panels. I have not picked it up yet, nor gotten any training. Not new to RV'ing (2013 Kodiak 263RLSL), but new to Solar and all that new stuff. Does anyone know what the solar panels will power from the start? It...

Hello, I bought new Lithium battery and then noticed that my Waaree Controler is not compatible with Lithium batteries. :banghead: So, I was thinking to replace the controller with Wanderer Controller, but the Waaree Controller only has 3 wires, while the Wanderer need 4 wires. :banghead...

I have a 2024 Arctic Wolf 27SGS fifth wheel. It has one solar panel and 1 battery.If I want to add another 100 watt solar panel, what do I need; another battery, rewiring, etc...? Also, would the benefit of adding the panel be worth the time and money? Thanks in advance

Hello Everyone, I purchased a 2023 East to West Tandara 340rd in April of this year and I've been having issues keeping the battery charged. Full disclaimer, I am new to the 5th Wheel World...so learning. Our 5th Wheel has the Rich Solar Mega 200W monocrystalline Solar Panel with the Rich...

I have a 2022 FR3 DS30 with the Merlin Solar Charger. Can someone explain in "layman terms" how this actually works, what it charges, etc.

We purchased a used 2021 15tb and have been extremely happy with it. However, the stock solar doesn't seem to be working. With ideal conditions, it shows .5 charging rate. We have one small flexible solar panel on top, which came new with the trailer. I think I read somewhere they are 30...

I'm thinking of getting into solar for my 5th wheel. I looked for solar hookup, found it on the roof. I do not want to put solar panels on the roof, so where do I find the lines to hook into? I suppose the line is near the batteries in the front. Can someone tell me or take a pic of where theirs...

Hello all First post here but have been searching a lot. I don't think i found exactly my answer i need but am sure my converter isn't an issue. So, recently switched to lifpo4 12v 100ah battery from lead acid. I have a puma xle 21fbc with wfco 8955 converter. Over the holiday weekend we...

Hi everyone -- I have a Dynamax Isata 3 24FW 2023 equipped with 2 lithium batteries and a solar panel. I am trying to understand if my solar panel is charging my batteries. From what I can see, it doesn't looks like and my RV dealer is totally useless answering this basic question... Is there...

I have a 2023 RPod192 Beast Mode camper. This came with a 200w solar panel on the roof and built in charger. I've upgraded it with a 100 Ah LiFePO4 Battle Born battery. Question I have is sometimes the battery doesn't seem to charge after a few days. It works fine for a few days, then...
