    Solar Panel question

    I have a small, simple camper for off-grid only camping. It has a 100W solar panel on the roof and an 80W 'briefcase' portable back-up. These charge my system adequately and we have plenty of strong sun here. Our power usage is very small - just the fridge control panel, furnace fan when needed...

    Lithium battery upgrade

    ...with it yet. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081TQBNSH?tag=rvf01-20 I still have the LA house battery that will be changed out for lithium and I think I can use this to control time being charged by the alternator . My other battery bank is lithium and the solar charges that most of the time.

    Make Solar Prep standard on all coaches

    Don't make Solar Prep an option, make it STANDARD in ALL Newmars. This sets Newmar above the others, make every coach "green" solar ready. Solar prep is nothing more than running the 6 AWG wires to the roof and ethernet to the inside. I'm sure the costs could be covered in the sale price...

    Pre wired for solar help needed.

    Purchased a (like new) used 2017 Venture Sonic Lite (SL167VMS) 20' tt last Saturday. The owners manual says it is "pre wired for solar" and "pre wired for a back up camera". I have found nothing on line to assist me with what I need to do to add solar to my pre wired trailer. Only unidentified...

    House batteries dead

    Thank you chuggs! You have given people something to think about! I would like to add thoughts about solar controllers often under utilized. The two terminals seldom used on solar controllers are the load terminals. I don't get this! When used in conjunction with a solid state relay...

    What Class A should we replace ours with?

    Slow down your thinking faster than your talking! What is 24v? 3x 100wattts at what voltage? Are you sure the controller won't work on 24 volts? And are you going to have an inverter? That will definitely need to be built for the proper voltage!
