Hi all, I have a 2021 Coachmen Freedom Express 29se that is "solar ready." There is a blue and white looped wire in one of the cubbies compartments in the front right side of the trailer (see attached photo). Do I cut the loop, strip the wires, and check for voltage on one side? I'm assuming...

I have as Flagstaf 21FBRS with 2 batteries and a solar panel. I was told that the solar panel would always keep the batteries charged. This winter the panel got covered with snow and drained the batteries. I switched the batteries off. After the snow melted I switched it back on, assuming the...

I’ve been secretly enamored of Victron Smartsolar MPPT SCCs, for their built in and apparently reliable Bluetooth, reputation, and reported fast reaction time with changing sunlight conditions. Been tracking a few SCCs on Amazon for a good sale price. Found & bought a used 75/15 on EBay for...

Some time ago, I installed four Newpowa solar panels on the roof of my Mini-Lite, securing them with these Renogy Z-brackets (Amazon). Initially, I fastened the brackets to the panels, then anchored them onto the plywood roof using rivet nuts. Finally, I covered the brackets with self-leveling...

Hi all. 2018 Quantum RQ29 Class C. This is pre-wired, and I'm getting ready to install Renogy 200W panels, charge controller and monitor. Let me first say that I am disappointed at Renogy for not including any instructions with the parts. I've gone online and found information that I think...

So long story short the wife and I got a new 2024 ibex 19MBH 2 weeks ago and it's been nothing but problems. The first issue was nothing would run off batteries. Shore power would work, generator would work but when those were disconnected nothing would power. The solar controller showed...

Hi. I am just beginning to investigate switching from 2 lead acid to 200 amp hours lithium. Question. My only solar right now is a 100W solar suitcase. In peak sun it puts out maybe 6.5 amps. I read somewhere that a lithium battery won't even recognize or accept such a small charge coming...

When I bought the above-reference RV from Camping World, they told me it had a plug for solar....that was it. Along with the other stuff I received, I received the attached leaflet. That's all. Every time I've attempted to ask them questions about the RV's solar capabilities, the CW employees...

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...

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...

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...
