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 Chuck, The correct screen for the Go Power MPPT Solar Charge Controller – PowerTrak – 12V and 24V – 30 Amp #GP32QR is the Go Power PowerTrak Screen – Touchscreen RV Control Panel – Auto-Dimming – Multi-Orientation #GP64XR. The Go Power!…
It sure can Drew! The Onan Generator - QG 7000i Onboard RV Generator item #CM44MR is the same size as the 5500-watt Onan generator. It measures 33-5/8" long x 22-1/8" wide x 16-3/4" tall and weighs 201 lbs. What kind of RV do you have?…
Great question, Sonia. Yes, the #GP85QR charger can be configured for lithium, AGM, or flooded lead-acid, and you can adjust those settings through the remote or the app. Once set, the inverter remembers the profile, even if you disconnect the…
You will need a different converter charger if you are going to lithium batteries, which is what I believe you are asking. The right one will depend on how many amp hours you need though, like the 100 amp-hour #34282738. I have added a link below to…
Hey Brad! I just went over this with Dometic/Go Power and you will need several wiring harnesses in addition to the #GP74XR you already picked up. To connect the Go Power PowerTrak Screen #GP64XR, Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger #GP85QR, and MPPT…
Yes, Marsha, that’s exactly what the #GP85QR is built for. Unlike the single-leg 30A #GP44XR, this one outputs on both legs, so it ties directly into a 50A distribution panel and supplies up to 3,000 W (not going to power the entire AC system of…
Steve, for the #GP44XR (along with other models like the #GP85QR and #GP94XR) you’ll want at least 4" of open space on all sides, especially around the fan vents. These units can move a lot of air under load. Mounting it in a ventilated…
Hey Johnathon, welcome back! It is normal for the PowerMax 11-Stage Smart Trickle Charger item #PM49VR to get warm during charging. Especially during the initial bulk charging stage when it works hardest to recharge a drained battery. You should…
Hey Robert, glad to hear the project is coming together! Great question on the etrailer PWM Solar Charge Controller #e42PR , those “Solar Appliance” aka 12V appliance terminals are essentially a load output from the controller. They’re designed to…
Yes, with a little planning. You can park in the shade and run the Rich Solar Mega 200w Portable Solar Panel #RS85FR out 15–20 feet into a sunny patch with an extension like Rich Solar 20 Foot #RS62FR. That’s what Kyle and Marissa do with their RTT…
Hey Nancy, yes the WFCO Auto Detect RV Converter and AC/DC Distribution Panel #WF96FR that you referenced is the correct replacement for your WF8735P that you have now and is compatible with lithium batteries like you need as well. This is same shape…
