Hey David, welcome back! The big advantage you'll gain using a 65 amp item #WF98FR or 75 amp item #WF48FR converter charger over a 55 amp item #WF38FR would be to charge your batteries faster. You would also be able to power more 12V DC…
Hello Dennis, Great question. For the setup you described, I would actually recommend stepping up to the etrailer Overlander Portable Solar System #e28VV. Since you already have the solar port on the trailer, this gives you a much more complete and…
Hi James! With your GVWR being 7,600 pounds, your loaded tongue weight should be around 760 pounds. With that said, I recommend going with the Weigh Safe True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch - 2" Shank - 6" Drop - 8.5K GTW, 850 lbs TW…

Hello Jay, I’m curious what panel you’re planning to use. How many panels will you be running, and what is the total wattage? I want to make sure the controller I recommended is properly sized for your setup. Right now, your camper has the Go Power…

Hello George, In order to get a 7 way on the back of your 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness, you will need to start with the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector #118467. The #118467 will get the 4 flat on the back, but then…
Hello Hatem; it looks like the only models that can handle 350 lbs are the Adventure and TRD Off-Road. Your 2024 Toyota RAV4 LE is limited to the 150 lbs unless you can get Toyota to say otherwise, so the #B82FR will be too heavy with your bikes. The…

Portable Solar Panel, Panel Only with 101 - 200 Watts
Go with 101 - 200 watts for a portable setup you can lay on the ground for charging at camp, then stow away when you're done. As panel only, you'll pair it with a solar controller and the right connector (MC4 or SAE), and 200 watts is pretty standard if you plan to add more panels later. Avoid placing panels behind a windshield since efficiency can drop about 50%.
Yes, but expect a big performance hit. If the panel is behind the windshield it will decrease the efficiency though. Usually you will see a drop of about 50% in these situations. For best results, place the panel outside directly in the sun and aim it so it gets a decent amount of direct sun during the day.
Use a small bike cable lock looped through the frame and secure it to a solid anchor. Set panels close to your rig and out of main foot traffic when you're gone. Write your name and phone number on the back so an honest neighbor can reach you if it gets moved. A discreet tracker zip-tied to a leg can help you recover it.
Use the connector and controller that match your setup. Most solar-prepped RVs have a standard MC4 solar connector. SAE is a simple way to connect a single panel; for 2-3 panels, switch to an Anderson-style quick-connect. You will also need to install a solar controller; a 30A unit can handle up to three of these panels depending on how they're wired. Verify panel voltage (some generate 19 volts) with your controller specs.
It can be, but it depends on your power draw and battery bank. A 200 watt panel is pretty standard, and you can connect several together to build out your system. If anything is 120V you will also need to add an inverter to convert 12V DC to 120V AC power. Map out the amp-hours your fridge, television, and other loads use to size panels and batteries.
