Can Solar Panel be Ran to Trailer Batteries Wires in Series

Question:
Does having a built in solar panel on my Lance travel trailer affect using two 6 volt batteries in series? If so, how do I hook it up? Thank you!

Expert Reply:
Assuming your trailer runs off 12 volts (I am sure it does), you would need to run your solar panel power to the batteries in series like the picture I attached. The positive side of the one batter gets the positive wire of one battery and the negative of the other gets the ground wire.
