solar

Hello Everyone, I recently purchased a Cross Trail 21XG. This has Renogy solar system with the 200w solar panel on the roof and seems to work great. I'm attempting to add 2 - 100w panels externally using the external solar port next to the RV door. I'm running the panels in series. The question...

2022 Catalina Summit Series 184BHS… I have 20 V at the solar panel, but I have 0 V down at the controller. Where do the cables from the solar panel go before they go to the controller? It is a heavier gauge cable up at the roof than what is going in to the solar controller. My problem is at...

I have a 2024 Forester 3011 that was delivered without solar panel and controller. It was supposed to have it, as per the dealer. I did however received compensation prior to delivery. I am at the point I will install the panels. I bought two 200 watt renogy panels and a renogy controller...

New to RVing and we just purchased a 2024 Flagstaff Super Lite 29rlbs. It has two 15k AC units. Asking for advice on which units to buy - SOFT-START - So many choices with so many mixed reviews cost $79 to $380. According to reviews, more may not be better! Any suggestions what would work best...

Hello! 2024 EPro 19FBS with included 200 watt solar on roof. Regular batteries, not lithium. Just did first boon docking trip. Three sunny days. Only used the fridge and turned water pump off when not using. Used solar lights at night. After three days the batteries were completely drained...

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...

Anyone know how the solar is wired on the 264 bh? I have the 2023 model. Tried to find fuses going from solar panels to controler to batteries. None found. Didn’t see any shut off switch either. I would like to have both. Any suggestions?

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...
