Question:

I had ordered prewire solar on my Vilano 320GK. What is the best solar panel that will connect to the prewired connection. I have two 12 Volt batteries.

The Furrion Solar port # FSPINS-BS only fits with the male connector that comes on their solar suitcase. We had issues with that product so we don't carry it and they don't have a connector available as a separate part. I reached out to them directly to confirm this.

The best solar panel in my opinion we carry for cost to function is the Go Power Portable Solar Kit w/ Digital Solar Controller # 34282730 and then you can simply use the 7-Pin Trailer Adapter for Go Power Portable Solar Kit # 34270357 instead of using the Furrion connection and 30 foot extension cable # 34270356 to place the panel where it can get the best sun on your site.

If you want to wire a different unit like the Goal Zero solar panels, you will need to create a different adapter like the 2-Pole Socket Connector # PK12801 and the 2-Pole Trailer Wiring Connector # PK12800. If you change the connector, you can make most solar panels compatible. The factory wiring has an inline fuse that actually reduces the amperage to 7.5, so you may want to adjust that if you do some rewiring to include a different amperage based on your panels.
