Will the Go Power Portable Solar System Plug Directly Into An R-Pod Trailer

Question

Question:

I am thinking about buying the GO Power Portable Solar System 130 Watt and I have a 2017 R-Pod model 179 that has a Go Power Solar on the Side Compatible with any Portable Solar Kit and Rated for 20 Amps. Do I need to buy anything else to plug in the Go Power unit to this R-Pod? and if so what?

The Go Power Portable Solar System with Digital Solar Controller part # 34282730 comes with everything needed to plug into an R-Pod, there will be no separate cables or adapters needed if you have the pre-wired solar port.

Do I need an inverter if I purchase the 130 watt that would plug into my rv.

@Connor Most likely yes. It depends somewhat on what you're wanting to run off of your Go Power Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller item # 34282730. If you're just wanting to keep your batteries topped off then no. You can install a smaller one like the Go Power Heavy-Duty Modified Sine Wave Inverter - 225 Watts - 12V item # 34280173 for sensitive electronics. What are you wanting to power off of your solar panels?

Hey Dick, Extra space for mounting and breathability for the unit itself is why the manufacturer lists the cutout hole needing to be 22-7/16" wide x 15-3/16" tall. That being said if your cutout hole is smaller but can still fit the #HP99ZR…

Wayne, it does not look like the Greystone Built-In RV Convection Microwave #GR27FR include a mounting bracket. I actually wasn't able to find one at all for that model. They make one for their smaller #324-000106 microwave, but nothing for the…
