    Is it possible to charge a portable Bluetti lithium generator from solar panel on roof of RV?

    Solar Generator

    I have a 39ft Keystone Fusion toy hauler and am thinking about adding solar. Does anyone have any experience with a Bluetti portable solar station? I've looked at the AC300; which, seems to have a good amount of power, especially if you add the expandable batteries. I'm wondering if the...

    Solar Panel/Power controller question

    Hello all, New member and new to Class A RV’s. We have a 2022 Coachmen Mirada 315ks and it has a 100w Solar panel on top of the rig but no Solar panel controller. Do we need to purchase the controller in order for it to charge the house batteries?

    MOD Should have done this years ago

    I did finally find a snippet that said they would heat if power is available. I am not a solar guy(yet), but I would think 14.4 is 14.4 regardless of whether it is coming from the inverter/charger or the solar charger

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Batteries for my Solar Panel

    I'm totally confused about what I should do. Should I buy one 200ah Lithium battery or two 100ah Lithium batteries. My fridge is 12volt only. The solar panel is 165watt and the solar charger controller is an Furrion MPPT 25A. Also are these difficult to install ? Thanks

    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...

    Must haves for boondocking
