    Solar Setup

    I am unable to turn my solar on from my firefly panel. When I try and set the battery type it does nothing. I tried to hold down the battery type botton for a few seconds to see if that would help and it did not. I checked the fuses and in line fuse near the house battery. I am at a loss. Maybe...

    Solar power

    I have a 2022 5th wheel. A sticker says “wired for solar”. I am considering moving to a permanent Park where I pay electricity. How much should I budget to get my unit running, or at least helping out, with solar power?

    No shore power or solar power on Etrek

    New to us 2015 Etrek RSEM won't accept shore power. The shore power light illuminates momentarily and that's it. The inverter showes no power coming in. Additionally, the solar controller is blank. Everything with a Roadtrek sticker say to use factory settings. Has anyone had experience with this?

    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.
