    Solar for Dummies

    Purchases a 2025 Cougar Half Ton with a single solar panel. Now realize that it only will charge the battery and nothing else. What do I need to buy to get more use out of the solar panel. The dealer, Midwest RV, St. Louis, Mo. was absolutely useless in answering this question.

    There are three sets of wires in the pre-wire compartment for the controller. One set that is red and white, two sets that are black and white. Red and white go to the solar panel, but which of the black and wires do you use to connect to the battery?
