Question:

Hello, Im getting a pop up trailer 2021 Rockwood Freedom that comes with solar ready with a solar port on the front of the frame. I was told this is a GoPower plug. Would this work: Go Power Portable Solar System with Digital Solar Controller - 90 Watt Solar Panel Item # 34282729 If so, what other accessories I should get. Will the port/cord that comes with the system work on my trailer or do I need to buy anything else?

If your 2021 Rockwood Freedom has a GoPower plug already installed, then all you'll need is the Go Power Portable Solar System with Digital Solar Controller - 90 Watt Solar Panel # 34282729 you were looking at. There won't be any additional parts needed to get this kit set up since this solar kit comes with both SAE and XLR plugs, as well as a cord that would allow you to connect directly to the battery. If you wanted to add a 30 foot long extension cord for your system, you can add part # 34270356, which would be helpful if you like to camp in the shade but still want to be able to get your panels out into the sun. This system will provide 4.4 amp hours of charge for your battery.

Jake did a really great video that reviews these GoPower systems that I recommend checking out if you haven't already. I've also linked a product photo that shows the two types of connectors (SAE and XLR) so you can confirm you've got one of those on your new camper; otherwise you'd just want to use the battery connection.
