solar panels

In April of 2024 I purchased a new 2023 Imagine AIM 18BH after having a used Jayco hybrid previously. The new GD came with a Norcold N2175 DC fridge (7.0A std mode, 5.0A nite), a Valterra 200 Watt solar panel, a GO Power 30A solar charge controller (GP-PWM-30-SQ) which per Dometic is able to...

We just purchased and waiting delivery of a 2024 Imagine XLS 22MLE. Trying to get ahead of the game, and wondering what I can expect with the 165 watt solar and the 12v refrigerator. Last fridge was a 3-way and I am trying to figure if the panel that comes with the trailer will be enough to...

For years, we've been bombarded with advice on the "ideal" placement for solar panels: south-facing roofs, specific angles, zero shading – the list goes on. But what if these so-called best practices are outdated or even inaccurate? I recently stumbled upon some information that challenges...

My 2019 18RBE has a plug on the outside of the trailer labeled Furrion and solar. Can I just plug a portable solar panel into this and recharge the trailer battery? Is there any special brand of panel or equipment that needs to be used?

As I was surfing the internet recently, I came across these Cheap Solar Panels (and Solar Charge Controller). These Solar panels are cheap enough that they could be used for a "Ground Deployed" Solar system and/or as an entry level Solar test platform. This is how I would use these panels, I...

My general design criteria is light, low and minimal roof penetrations. The main concern of direct mount solar panels is heat. These panels are used in large roof top installs. Made in Southwest, sold to me by Continuous Resources in Utah. Great company. There is a single roof penetration.

Hi all, We just bought our 2800BH travel trailer here in AZ. We will be wanting to run the AC here in a couple months. Could anyone tell me which models of generators work best for this rv? And if you are using solar what are you using to power the AC? I’m open to either or both, we just...

I have a 2005 Hawk purchased new that is used approximately 5 months per year. Two of my extended trips, between April-August, are about 9 weeks and 6 weeks respectively. The truck/camper "sits" during those periods and is located at dry campsites. I recently purchased a 15 watt, Deltrin solar...

Hi all, I just completed the set up for a 100 watt "starter kit" from Renogy, on my 29RS fifth wheel. We do not boondock very often, so I did not want to spend a lot on a generator or solar system. But, a week in the desert near Quartzsite, AZ., just may be in our future. Project descripition...

Question - Does anyone know if there's a Technical Service Manual available for the 2017 Momentum series (350M, specifically)? I'm looking for things like: wiring diagrams roof dimensions (for ordering and mounting solar panels) specific power usage for single items and appliances, etc. Ya...

I have the 2014 Hawk on a 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500. I had the top and back solar plugs installed. I'm in the process of installing two 100 Watt Renogy solar panels (framed), 500 amp shunt, Tri Metric battery system monitor, and the SC-2030 solar charge controller. I have all of the above...
