My 2023 Rockwood Signature 8262RBS TT came with a single Go Power 190W solar panel (GP-BF-190M) on the roof and a 30A PWM Go Power solar controller (GP-PWM-30-UL). There is a 30A mini breaker between the solar controller and the batteries but I don't think there is a switch between the solar...

Apologies if this is a dumb question. It IS my first rodeo... Trying to figure out where to put my single 100 Watt solar panel on my Real Lite SS 1600. Does it even matter? Please look at the picture. Red arrow points to the solar connectors, as the camper is pre-wired. Thanks!

We used to do a lot of boon docking camping with no hookups. in the future we might be looking for a smaller 7000GWR dual axle camper. Here is my question. with these new modern refrigerators they are putting in campers (12v), if your camping off the grid for a week or 2 at a time, how much...

I am a new owner of a used 2011 Forest River Rv Solera 24S. I love it. But I do have a question from time to time and hope this is a good way get advice and or answers. 1. It is possible to find a wiring diagram for the coach? There are occasional issues that need investigation but which...

Hi. I have a 2021 Palomino SS-1600 prewired for solar. I've ordered my panel and charge controller, found the two labeled "solar" wires inside the camper near the battery, so almost ready to go... I know the solar wires connect to the solar charge controller "inputs", but need details on...

I have (2) 190amp solar panels on a Rockwood 2104s MiniLite and (2) 100amp Battleborn lithium batteries (just installed). I store the trailer outside for winter here in Utah. Battleborn says to store their batteries in the trailer at 100% and turn off battery cutoff (to turn off parasitic draws)...

I just checked in on Lithium battery (LiFePo4) prices on Amazon and what I found surprised me... The last time I checked (fall '23) in on "cheap" Lithium battery prices they were around $259 for a 100ah 12v battery. Now they are around $199 with free delivery. There are several brands at this...

We have a 2021 Cedar Creek 38EL with factory installed solar panel on the roof. We want to store our camper inside our garage for the winter. The garage has 4 windows at the top of the wall, which are the same height as the top of the camper. I've read that if you disconnect your batteries...

Hello! How many watts can the "Solar on the Side" SAE handle? I have two Bluetti 350Watt solar panels and a 50A MPPT and I was wondering if I could connect these to the "Solar on the Side" SAE connector. I will also have a 60amp fuse sitting between the MPPT and Battery.

Trying to figure out how to get wiring down to a controller then to battery, has any one done this. My trailer does not have solar hookup. Thanks for the input.

I’m upgrading the solar on my 2023 Rockwood Mini-Lite 2109s. What is the best way to get the wiring diagram including gauge and component specs without going through supplier's generic material that does not apply to what was installed on this trailer?

Hi, We took delivery of our '23 233s in August that came with the solar package. My question for this fine forum is - Has anyone added additional panels? Does anyone know what's involved with adding one or two? Thanks in advance

Hello, We’re purchasing a Wold Pup Black Label 17JG. It comes equipped with a 100w solar panel and battery. Would adding a second solar panel and battery be worth the money? I should say we like to disperse camp and do have a genny but like the idea of having solar for light use of lights and...

I am getting a new (2024) 21C with a solar setup - 2 -200 watt panels and 4 lithium batteries. I did purchase the Solar Port wired to Charge Controller. I am a novice and don't know anything about solar power. I want to purchase a 3rd panel (portable) to plug into the solar port wired to the...

Hello Everyone, I put our 2021 ISATA5 28ss RV into (outside/non-covered) storage in October. Unfortunately, there are no power connections at our storage facility. Before leaving, I turned off the power to the RV in the power bay (red turn switch on right) to reduce parasite draw on batteries...

I am in the process of replacing the factory installed 12v battery with a 48v Li ion battery. I am wondering if anyone has done this and would be willing to share their experience? I have a 2023 vista cruiser TT (19 CSK). I plan to install a 48v to 12v step down converter to keep the lights, etc...

Hi guys, I have a 2018 Forest River Wolf Pup 16BHS travel trailer and for years now I've wanted to put solar panels on the roof to make it easier to boondock for extended periods of time. However, one concern I have is the additional weight that these solar panels would put on the roof. The...

Hi, I have a 2022 Wolf pup 16bhsbl and I'm trying to figure out how the PWM charge controller is wired. There are 3 wires coming out of it, one red and two black, where do they go? They dissapear in the wall and I can't find these wires. I do see two wires, blue and white, coming out from under...

Hello, I'm new to solar and have a basic question. My trailer's 12v system consists of 4 x 6 volt Bright Way Group 220ah AGM batteries for 440 ah capacity and I want to charge them when off grid by an Anker 200w portable solar suitcase. It has no controller. I need to install a controller...

We have a 2023 GeoPro 19fd and I'm starting a solar upgrade and was hoping to get a few questions answered. I've replaced the factory deep cycle battery with a 100ah lithium iron phosphate with Bluetooth and now plan on adding a second. I want to replace the solar controller and relocate into...

Since the Dynamax RVs do not include a mounted ladder for roof access, what is the best method that you've found to clean your solar panels? If your method is to lean a collapsable ladder against the left side, are you doing this with your slides in or out?

I have a 50 ft 14ga extension cord I use sometimes to get my three 50watt panels out in the sun. I assumed it was good up to 15 amps. Well now I find out amps are much different at lower voltages. Any wire sizing guide says I need 6 awg wire to keep voltage drop to under 5%. Everything says...

We were gone over the holidays and it snowed and then got rather cold, and the solar controller is giving an error code indicating an essentially dead battery (oops...wasn't around to clear the panel). The GoPower tech said I could cover the solar panel (cutting off any electricity being sent...

I have a 2022 Rogue. I have two factory installed 100 watt panels on the roof. Power is not getting to the solar controller. I can’t find a fuse anywhere. There should be one accessible? This problem existed from day one. I just thought I had inadequate batteries. My thought is the fuse has been...

I have a 22 17MKE and am in the process of purchasing equipment and materials for adding a 3000va Victron inverter/charger and upgrading the solar charging system. I believe my unit is an early 22 model and have not seen the inverter prep sticker on my unit. Is it still possible that it has the...
