solar

Greetings, I am switching to a Victron MPPT solar controller (away from my gopower PWM) for my 200W panel. This is on a 2024 E-pro 19FD. The Victron is not a clean surface mount design, so I'm thinking about changing the controller location by cutting into the wires somewhere out of sight...

Out on a trip and The shore power at the park we are staying at got turned off for the day due to maintenance. just noticed the solar panels on the Roof don’t seem to be charging the batteries. The go power Control box right by the steps shows the voltage on the display, but none of the lights...

I am planning to install solar in the camper What will be required for install

Tech Support, I need to understand how the electrical system is wired. I have two positive and negative wires going to the battery. From my research one set supplies power to the power roof lift system. The other to the solar panel controller and the camper itself. I have a stand alone solar...

I just went through my system diagram and put current prices on all the kit. $6550 plus tax. Add another $450 for mounting hardwire, wires and misc. and I'm at $7k for a 1200W solar, 400Ah, 3000VA system. Then I look at my little 2500W Champion inverter generator and wonder why I just didn't...

Hello. I have a 2022 Forester class C with roof mounted solar panels and a Zamp controller. I noticed that my batteries were draining when I turned the RV power on but didn’t plug it into shore power. I also noticed that there were no lights on the controller and no current flow on the...

I have a 2020 mini lite, 2104s. It has the solar plug on the right front side. I keep my solar panel hooked up to keep the batteries charged when parked at my house. All was working fine til my dad was mowing and sucked the power cord up into the mower. It wiped it out. I got new line and...

Good morning Campers! I'm adding a Renogy 300w solar setup to my Salem Cruise Lite 282QBXL. I'm curious if anyone with a similar camper has taken any wall panels down inside the master bedroom to see what the stud setup is behind those panels. I reached out to forest river to see if I could get...

I pre-ordered a 202RBLE from a dealer in February. He told me 8-10 weeks to arrive. I received a notification it will be built the first week of May at the factory. Does anyone know if the extra 200 watt solar panel promotion is still going on? I emailed Forest River directly with that...

Have 2022 Wolf Pup 16PF with 50 watt Juice Pack Am planning to replace 50 watt panel with two 100 Amp panels in series and new Mppt controller Looking to find how the existing 50watt panel is attached. Is it screwed or bolted with dicor covering that? Is it simply attached using an adhesive...

2021 Shamrock Hybrid Camper came with onboard solar panel on the roof and an internal Go Power control panel inside. Everything has been flawless the last couple years until this time. No power to the panel, battery was dead but when plugged into the site power everything works so I’m...

Hi all.. I just purchased a 2024 19.6 with the additional 200w panel upgrade (400w total) and am driving myself bonkers trying to figure out the best way to pull off a decent sized solar addition without drilling the roof. The second panel is placed to the side of the air conditioner, which as...

having trouble with solar inverter shutting off and having to b reset, with camper plugged in or no a/c power connected. Anyone else having issues with?

I got a 2022 XLR 32RZR14 toy hauler. Bought it new in 2023 and discovered that the solar has never worked. I’m about 2 hours from the closest dealer and figured I could troubleshoot it myself. I got 18 volts on the roof coming from the panel but nothing on the wires connecting to the controller...

To all: We are going on a trip this Sept. Several of the campgrounds we will visit will require us to use solar. I have an SAE "solar on the side" connection. I will be using the 12 volt refrigerator all the time, LED lights in the evening and furnace on occasion. I have two house batteries...

Hello Just purchased a 2023 20se, left over stock. I am interested in adding solar. Any info on price and all that I need to purchase and any insight on installing would be very appreciated. Thank you Robin

So, after tons of searching and reading I realize that the FR Wildwood FSX external Zamp plug isn’t feeding to the GoPower controller. But rather it is just a tap line to the battery. (As a side note, it shouldn’t be that hard to find out how the Zamp solar actually works.) What I’m now curious...

Hi all! I am new to the forum. We just bought a 2018 FR3 30ds. I’m gonna put 1200W of solar on the roof. Any suggestions on how/where to bring the 10 gauge wire down through to the rear most bin on the passenger side? That’s where my mppt is going to be mounted. Thanks! Rich

So we’ve never had solar panel before and the new TT has the standard 200W on the roof. Not sure if the battery disconnect switch affects the battery charging or just the power delivery to the TT. Can anybody tell me if the battery trickle charges regardless of the disconnect position...

Hi All, As part of my leveler trouble-shooting, I need to disconnect solar (and shore) power. According to FR, there should be a 10A inline fuse coming off the battery for the solar panel (see diagram). Unfortunately, that fuse doesn’t exist in the battery compartment. Has anyone found it...

80 year old guy trying to learn about solarbcampong

I am adding solar panels and inverter to my solar prepped. Eddie Bauer 23rb trailer. I have found the loop of two cables in the bay. Am I correct in assuming one of the cables feed the 130v receptacles and the other is the feed from the shore power ? I am wanting to connect them to a transfer...

Hi all, Need help finding solar controller for new to a friend 2023 Columbus River Ranch 390RL. Maybe a picture of the controller and or location. I believer the solar portion is controlled from the Firefly GUI in the camper?

I'm wondering if anyone on the forum might have diagrams (probably not) or at least pictures of solar or other aftermarket roof installs on a Coleman Lantern 17B/R. I have a 2023 17B and I'm trying to do a solar/starlink mount on my roof. Tried the stud finder and the "thump" method and I can't...
