    Solar, internet and cabinets

    Assuming a rig is prepped for solar, is it cheaper/better to buy a rig with a solar package installed already, or to buy one without it (which seems to be cheaper normally) and buy an aftermarket/manufacturer package and install afterwards? If the latter, what are some good solar systems/brands...

    Solar eclipse???

    I can't help myself! So I ask you, do you plan on viewing the eclipse? Seems like only a few years ago that my stomping grounds in Wyoming was inundated by sun gazing tourists, and would have been me had reservations not been impossible due to my tardiness. So this one is even more...

    Boondocking w/propane

    If I am Boondocking and using my propane furnace will it cause any damage if my batteries die overnight? No solar, trailer not plugged into the truck.

    Solar Panel Operation Question

    ...stolen from different storage facilities around Houston, we recently downgraded to a smaller Coachman Spirit 2963BH. This one came with a 100W solar panel preinstalled on the roof, and we attached the loose cables near the battery to the +\- poles as labelled. What is required for the...

    Adding solar worth it?

    ...on using it in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming. We will be in RV parks, forest service campground, and some boondocking. Is it worth installing solar panels? Our motorhome will be prepped for solar but no panels. If you have experience with solar panels or an opinion on this please respond...

    New Dutchman Kodiak 201QB

    I checked the electrical circuit on the 10AMP solar. We have a pair of solar panels that put out a max of 9.7 amps so that meets the stated spec on the trailer. Not sure on the connection compatibility yet but the panel manufacturer shows the connection method at that end of the circuit to be a...

    Solar generator advice

    A solar generator is a consolidated Lithium battery with a bunch of features built in. Do you need the inverter part of it? I just put a Lithium battery and changed my converter in my similar TT. You may already have the updated convertor. Look for the model #.

    Question Adding/using Solar

    Just looked at a 2019 Sporstcoach srs365 RB that I am in the process of buying. I found a receptacle on the side that says "SOLAR". Do I have to add anything if I want to buy a panel? I've heard about control panels and that, but never paid much attention. Not that we do a lot of boondocking...

    Solar ready Freelander (Expedition Package)

    My RV came with the so called Expedition Package from the factory. There are connectors on the side and on the roof. My issue surrounds finding the "other" end of the wire. Where in the heck do they terminate so I can use them. Not in the battery box, not behind the refrigerator where...

    Bottom board ( underbelly)

    Sounds like you enjoy projects. Personally, I do too, but I wouldn't remove the underbelly unless I had a problem. Is your solar something you set-up? I can always find a way to pull a few wires without that much effort.

    Must haves for boondocking

    ...the time but mine does not seem to do that when I have both battery banks powering it. That might just be a coincidence and it was just the load at the time. With the Solar generator in for repairs, I added a second 2000 watt inverter to my 500 watt inverter since I am now missing the 3000 watt.

    Ok Lithium gurus

    Not sure I get what you're saying. Are you saying you don't boon dock, when you say solar is not needed? I'm talking to a guy, that talked to a guy in Rock Springs. And I need more information! Here's the deal. At least the way I see things. If I'm not storing up hard earned solar, I just...

    Solar efficiency

    Hello Gang. I am looking at a small trailer to buy that has Solar on it with a 1000w inverter. All that aside, How good are the panels themselves. For instance , home panels can work in some overcast. But do RV mounted work as well as that. And overcast can mean shade obviously. Any...

    FYI Solar Calculator

    ...to Quartzsite in two days and noticing the low sun this time of year in AZ I wanted to see what the numbers really are and prep for optimal solar positioning (park east/west to allow for tilt south). Here is a solar calculator for anyone interested primed with 1 PM Local at Quartzsite for my...
