solar

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...

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...

Need some help in tracing charger wires from Furrion connector. I believe the positive is Red/White after the connector hook up but am unsure of the ground color ( probably doesn't matter right just make one for my controller). So to hook up my controller disconnect red/white from + and route it...

Username says it all, except newbie dummy. Help me out if you are willing. Standard 500 w/ roof solar panel and one battery. Standard dometic-rm2193 3-way frig (one main concern), and standard plug-ins...phones, starlink and asstd tech. Idea is to get a Bluetti or Jackery and a compatible...

Hello everyone, I really hate to admit my mistakes and ignorance but here goes. About a year ago I successfully installed two 100 watt solar panels on the roof of my rv. At the time I was using only one lead acid battery and a cheap charger controller. This set up seemed to work well but I...

2023 Dynamax Isata 5 28SS Stranded at the RV park.. Went to move the slide in from the out position, the motor 1 moved and motor 2 did not, resulting in the slide moving in about a 2’ and was angled. Stoped and moved it back out. Both motors moved out to full extended position then stopped...

Hi, I just got my new trailer and the solar panel won't charge the batteries. The dealership installed a 2nd (FLA) battery and I'm wondering if they made a mistake somewhere. I checked, both batteries are at 13.6V, also when measured on the outside ports (since they are connected in parallel)...

2023 Isata 5 Xplore 28SS Solar panel questions Newbie here, but have questions regarding Solar panels. Attached screen readings showing solar output.. I’m here in Arizona (February-good sun).. Does this look right, are they working ok??

I believe I have 2 solar panels on the MH roof since the controller shows different PV (panel voltage) values depending on whether Batt 1 or Batt 2 is displayed. Is each solar panel specifically linked to one battery system (house and chassis?) If a panel fails or is weak, can the working...

I installed two new LiFePO4 batteries in my 2020 CC Silverback. Swapped out the WFCO charger with a Progressive Dynamics PD9160ALV (Lithium Charger) and installed a Shunt. I have a portable 200 watt solar panel that we on occasion use though I have a Honda 2000 generator too. Yes, I changed...

I've been troubleshooting a small leak in our new 2515s. Water was coming in via the roof solar connectors as far as I could tell (see photos). The wires were actually wet with water dripping down into our cabinet. I dicor'd all around the solar connector box and even under the solar wires...

I have 800w solar, 60A Renogy charge controller and battery monitor plus 570AH of lithium batteries that I've been running for 10 months without issues USING ONLY SOLAR to charge the batteries... the PD converter has been turned off until now. The Renogy battery monitor always reflects the...

I own a 2023 rockwood mini lite 2511s. Basically just trying to fix my fridge and my multimeter is still showing voltage to said fridge when the shore power is turned off. I took a look at the electrical behind one of my panels and removed a fuse I thought may be for the factory solar since it...

I have a 2023 Flagstaff, MAC 425 It would appear that my solar on the side port is wired back into my trailer. My trailer also came equipped with a factory installed solar panel, unannounced to us. I have an additional stand alone panel that has it's own controller. When I plug it into the...

It would appear that my solar on the side port is wired back into my trailer. My trailer also came equipped with a factory installed solar panel, unannounced to us. I have an additional stand alone panel that has it's own controller. When I plug it into the solar-on-the-side port, my stand...

Hi All, Has anyone installed flexible solar panels on the SS-1251 or other Pop-Up camper? I like to use flexible as I might want to remove them eventually and use them on our boat. The panels I like to use are the two 200W Renogy Semi Flexible How did you mount them on the roof (drill, 3M...
