Solar Panel Recommendation for 2018 Keystone Sprinter
Question:
I have a 2018 Keystone Sprinter that is pre-wired for solar hookup. 1st- I am new to this, so what will run with the solar panels? Will I have to purchase a inverter for both TVs? I know I will have to run my Fridge on gas, and will have to use a generator for the Air Conditioner. What portable solar panels do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
So typically trailers like yours will have a battery that the inverter can draw power from when the generator isn't running. What the solar panel can do is help keep that battery topped off. If your 2018 Keystone Sprinter is already wired for a solar panel this should already all be taken care of and all you need to do is pick out the best panel for your needs/budget.
One great option is the Go Power Retreat Solar Charging System with Digital Solar Controller # 34272635 which was designed for mounting on the roof of a camper just like yours. I attached a review video for the kit as well as a picture of it installed for you to check out too.
For more of a portable style that you can place wherever you want for best sun access we have the part # 34282730 instead. This is something you'd have to set up every time you wanted to use it.
