Hey there Colin, that's a good idea. Lithium is the way to go for more efficiency and longer run time. Since your WFCO WF-8930/50 is just the distribution panel (the breaker and fuse box), you don’t need to replace the whole thing. What you’ll be…

Hey Pete. The Norcold RV Mini Fridge w/ Freezer - 3.3 cu ft - 12V - Black item #NC37VR pulls 5.2 amps or 62.4 watts. What kind of trailer or RV do you have?
Hi Doug! If you were just needing a weight distribution system for the sway control, I would have said the Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch w Sway Control - 6" Drop/Rise - 14K GTW, 1.4K TW #AN53VR could be a good option. However, I have tried…
To convert the WFCO WF-8955PEC to be lithium compatible you'd need the part #PD4655V and you'd be set. This fits in the panel without any modifications.
...System with 3 MPPT Solar Controllers - 1,140 Watt Solar Panels # 342-75011. Also, a minimum of 600 Ah battery bank is recommended for this kit so you might need to upgrade to add more batteries like # GP99...
When using the Go Power Solar All-Electric Kit #342-75011 that you referenced a minimum of 6 batteries is recommended for the battery bank. To maximum usage and performance of this system you will want to use 6-8 batteries. I have attached a diagram…

Hey Lorenzo. Your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 has what's called Pulse Wave Modulation, which will not provide the wireless cameras with the correct power it needs to run when connected. This is a power saving feature in newer trucks. To fix…
RV solar panels are a fantastic way to keep your batteries charged and reduce reliance on generators, especially during off-grid adventures. They are easy to install and can be tailored to fit your energy needs, whether you're maintaining a motorhome or p
Yes, but it depends on the controller. Some systems require wiring batteries in parallel, which might not suit all setups. Ensure your controller supports multiple outputs if you need to keep separate battery functions.
Performance can vary with weather. Panels work best in direct sunlight, but even on cloudy days, they can provide some charge. In winter or poor sun orientation, consider additional panels or battery capacity to maintain charge levels.
Installation is generally straightforward, with many finding the instructions clear and simple. However, some setups may require additional components like inverters or entry plates. Pre-wired RVs simplify the process, while older models might need more effort.
Common issues include missing components like plugs or entry plates, and the need for higher output controllers for larger setups. It's also important to ensure all parts are compatible and that the system meets your energy needs.
Consider your energy needs, panel size, and compatibility with your RV's existing electrical system. If you plan to expand your setup, ensure your controller can handle additional panels. Also, think about the climate and sun exposure where you'll be using them.
