Installing A Go Power Overlander Solar Panel System

Question

Question:

My travel trailer has a Zamp exterior connector for solar panels. I have just purchased a Go Power 190w panel overlander kit and Im not sure if I also need to install a small separate charge controller for the exterior connector.

Your current Zamp connector is only for Zamp branded solar systems.

The Go Power Overlander Solar Charging System with Digital Solar Controller - 200 Watt Solar Panel Item # 34282181 comes with a 30 amp solar controller that you will need to install to run this system and you'll have to drill a hole in your roof and run the cable in through it.

I've attached a video that goes through installation step by step to help you in this process.

Hey Ron! The etrailer Solar Expansion Kit #e72PR will work just as well as the #34282182 on your Jayco. There are a few differences in the specs but they're close enough it doesn't make a difference for this kind of setup. It is ok to mix…
