    Noise from Solar Charge Controller

    Just brought home 2023 Reflection 303RLS two days ago. Noticed a hissing noise coming from the Solar Charge Controller MPPT 50A box. It goes away at night when there is no sun. Is this normal to have a hissing sound come from this box?

    Furrion 10A Solar Charging Port

    The Furrion charging port on our 27BHS says “Solar charge 10A”. Does that mean I’m limited to solar panels where the IMP specification is 10A or less? Another way to ask the same question, does the “10A” on the plug housing correspond to the IMP specification on solar panels? Our 27BHS...

    battery life in storage/solar panel shut off?

    We just finished our first outing in our new-to-us 2015 Escape 21 (it is awesome!) We store it in a shed without electricity, and our next trip is a few weeks out. We have the factory solar panel which seems to draw the battery down quickly in storage. Is there a switch or process other than...

    Well, the other half and I finally cracked and ordered the 21 yesterday. Now on to the build sheet. One question is: one rooftop solar panel, or two. We will likely order one, but are interested in opinions on the second one. I'm not really interested in fiddling with portables, but would...
