Rich Solar Portable Solar Panels for boondocking

Set up ground-based charging without roof mounting using Rich Solar portable solar panels. A 200 watt panel is pretty standard, and you can connect several together for your needs; pair them with a PWM or MPPT solar charge controller to charge a 12V battery bank, including two 6V AGM in series, and choose MC4-compatible connections if your RV is solar prepped.
Yes, Rich Solar portable panels can connect to an RV system. Most solar-prepped RVs use MC4 connectors, so match your panel and port with the correct adapters. For a single panel, an RV SAE port adapter is simple. For 2-3 panels, switch to an Anderson-style quick-connect setup and run a dedicated cable to the solar charge controller. Verify your RV's port type before buying adapters.
Use a bike-style cable lock through the panel frame and secure it to a tree, bumper, or rack to help deter theft. Place panels close to your rig and out of main foot traffic. Mark your name and phone number on the back. Some travelers zip-tie a small tracker to a leg for extra peace of mind. Check that locking points don't pinch wires or obstruct the stand.
Start with your appliance draw and battery bank size; a 200 watt panel is a common baseline, and you can connect multiple panels to expand. Add a solar charge controller sized to your array's current; a 30A unit can handle multiple panels depending on wiring. For any 120V items like a TV or household fridge, include an inverter. Plan cable runs and storage space under the motorhome.
Yes, they can charge a pair of 6V AGMs wired in series to 12V. Use an appropriate solar charge controller (PWM or MPPT) between the panel and batteries. If your motorhome has a solar port, you can route through it; if not, wire the controller directly to the battery bank with proper fusing. Confirm your bank's voltage and controller settings before connecting.
