    Cargoes!

    Minimum solar! My history with solar defines this 1500 watts as the least acceptable solar install. It has become time to change what is considered my storage unit from cargo to fifth. And clean things up! Feels good to know I'm 1.5 months ahead of my self imposed schedule 😁

    I had to switch out my batteries. I have to 12 volt batteries. On the panel there is a setting in the solar section to input the amp hours. Do i put in total amp hours for both batteries or for just one,

    Lithium Battery Package

    ...Vienna with the Enhanced Lithium Package (2 - 400ahr batteries). I noticed that the inverter/charger seems to be always running. I'm assuming that the solar panel is always feeding the batteries and the inverter/charger is on because of that. Does anybody know if this is normal for this setup?

    Question Solar install

    Neal, you are correct once again, thank you for reminding me of the 30amp charging setting. Currently set to 50A, oops, In any event I’m schedule for a roof full of solar at SES on October 2nd. Not sure which installer will do the work but it will get done.

    MOD My new solar boondocking toy!

    My wife Cindy and I have been RVing for over 25 years owning three different motorhomes with solar panels on the roof. The first two had 400W of ridged tilting panels that required me to climb and manually tilt the panels to gain optimum output while boon docking. Both of these motorhomes had...

    Can’t find pre-wired solar connection

    We just bought a new 2021 Coachmen Chaparral 373MBRB that is pre-wired for rooftop solar. We see the connection on the roof, but cannot find the other end of the wires and/or the charge controller. Any suggestions?

    solar/inverter/autoswitch set up.

    So I have a fifth wheel that has a built in generator, had it installed at the dealer when it was new. I want to put in a solar set up with an inverter and auto switch so I don't have to run the generator as much when dry camping. Because of the built in generator there is already an auto switch...

    Extended battery

    How does your fridge operate? Is it 120 V and Propane? If it will run on Propane, simply add a portable solar panel to keep the battery charged and keep the propane level up as required.

    CA strikes again with CARB ACT

    There is a lot more farmland lost to growing ethanol than solar or wind. And many solar and wind installations are installed on non productive land.

    Help finding a toy hauler....PLEASE

    ...pulling our hair out trying to find the right toy hauler for us. We really liked the 27' Ember, in terms of insulation, heat, build quality & solar options, but they put the bathroom in back with cuts access in half, so our UTV won't fit. We liked ATC, but they have no insulation. We have...

    Question Isolating coach batteries from house batteries.

    ...alternator holds your chassis at a high voltage… it can’t sense the need to tie them. It kinda needs one to be high and one to be low. I find Solar keep our house too high for the alternator to tie our regular BIM… again UNLESS…someone steps back and makes microwave popcorn while I’m...

    How To Replace a summer loop pump in a ITR OASIS Hydronic heater

    No. I think I paid 250/ea from ITR but I'd get the ones from US Solar or wherever it was, discussed on this site, for far cheaper, same pump, despite ITR says it's not.

    Question How much does solar help you?

    We're planning stages right now but like to be prepared for expenses and down time. Looking at mostly park stays but want to be able to be comfortable without overnight genny running travelling or boondocking if possible.

    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...
