2019 Jayco Jay Flight SLX Travel Trailer Battery Replacement and Solar Power Addition
Updated 03/31/2021 | Published 03/29/2021
Question:
I have a 2019 Jayco Jay Flight SLX 298BH travel trailer. We are going to boondock camping for the first time this summer. I need to buy a new battery this year. I was also thinking of adding a solar panel. Looking for suggestions of what type of set up I should go with, both battery and maybe solar. We will most likely boondock for only a few nights a year. I think I would prefer to stay with 1 12v battery as that is what it currently has. I think we would be pretty minimalist when boondocking as well. Water pump to use the toilet and wash hands, fridge on propane understand it still pulls some power, LED lights that wouldnt be used much, wed plan to use power packs to charge our cell phones. Thanks!

For your 2019 Jayco Jay Flight SLX Travel Trailer and with you wanting to go boondocking for multiple nights I recommend the Go Power Lithium RV Battery - Deep Cycle - LiFePO4 - Group 4D - 12V - 250 Amp Hour Item # 34282740
For a solar set up I recommend the Go Power Portable Solar System with Digital Solar Controller - 200 Watt Solar Panel Item # 34282610 because this model will allow you to move the panels depending on where you're getting sunlight since you're planning on boondocking. You can also use this to charge other 12V batteries instead of it only working for your camper.
I've attached some videos going over installation that also offer additional information for you.
