    Torque T314 - solar prep

    Hello, my T314 is 'prepped for solar'. Has anyone installed solar on this or similiar unit? I'd like at least 450 Watts. The company says it will accept a Furrion panel but they won't say if the wiring on the roof is specific to Furrion. Also, I don't want to use the GoPower charge controller...

    Thinking about 500 watts of solar

    I have been kicking around the idea of installing 5-600 watts of solar panels. I know I will have to do some measuring and layout planning. A couple of questions: 1) If I go 600, what would be required to convert down to 12v if I put 6 100 watt panels and wire them 2s3p? 2)I am thinking in terms...

    Resolved ITR (OASIS) warns against US SOLAR PUMPS - FALSE CLAIM

    Many of us have heard and/or ordered spare hydronic heating system pumps from US SOLAR at the link below: C1E Circulating Pump - Worldwide Shipping | US Solar Pumps I have two of these in my spares kit and have not installed any to date. I was just on the phone with ITR asking for assistance...

    LightShip 4 Now Starting Customer Evaluation

    No contest, I agree. My remarks are in the context of gathering enough solar energy in a short period of time to plus up battery depletion on the way to go camping. Once camped, in the Summer, I would guess you could plan on at least 10 kW day, if it was clear and you were not parked under a...

    LightShip 4 Now Starting Customer Evaluation

    ...We'd contest that in the sun you'd get some kWh of energy that meaningfully supports camping (aside from trekdrive and high HVAC use). However, we're hard at work finalizing the firmware that charges the HV battery charging off solar... then we'll want you to test it and prove us right or...

    Solar anyone?

    And I don't mean adding a couple of panels to the roof, I mean full-on-solar! This Solar-Powered RV Runs Without Fuel Or Charging Stations

    Adding Solar

    I have been thinking about adding a small amount of solar to our Dutch Star. On our recent trip, we met up with friends who also were traveling in their Dutch Star. They had experienced a minor problem that required the coach to be left for repair for a couple of days. They were not able to...

    Oasis pump replacement

    Hi Gary. I'm in the process of changing the summer loop pump with a US Solar pump as well. How did you handle the reduction from the Oasis 3/4" (5/8?) hose down to the US Solar 1/2 hose?

    Question Downside of using large 400+w solar panels

    There are folks that have installed high quality commercial grade solar panels on RVs. What is the downside of using these panels vs ones designed for mobile applications? Other than size, not sure how they survive vibration and stresses of roof mounting on a RV?

    Battery and solar controller issues

    ...same time a battery issue developed with one of the batteries no longer charging from any source. There was also a flashing orange LED on the solar controller. Took to dealer who re-did roof seals and did a battery reset. Dealer also updated FireFly so we could do reset lithium batteries...

    12 volt refrigerator

    How well do the 12v refrigerators work when boon-docking?? How much solar wattage is required or at least ok for boondocking with a 12v fridge. I am looking at an Alliance Valor with a 12v only fridge and am concerned about having enough battery power to continuously run the fridge. This...

    Roof top Solar panels ( charging issue)

    ...post this question, general discussion I assume . My AGM battery 4 are 3 years old, when I put a multi tester across the top on a sunny day, Solar panels show charging 12.5 or more constantly on clear sunny day. It seems that my batteries aren’t receiving the full charge from the solar...

    Question Solar Panels

    Does anyone have any insight into the effectiveness of the solar panel on the roof of a 2020 Newmar Baystar 3616. It came standard with a panel on the roof, anyone know what it does and how effective it is. Will it keep the refrigerator running? I keep trying to plug the unit into 110 just to...

    ...box compartments along with the heart interface inside upon climbing the top of the motorhome to inspect the roof I noticed that there was a solar panel my question is does that solar panel go to a charge controller somewhere like my off-grid cabin? Or does that solar panel go directly to the...
