In order to determine which solar kit you're going to need to first determine how much solar you need for your RV.

A good rule of thumb is that a 100w solar panel can produce about 30Ah per day, so you can use this to estimate the amount of panels you need.

You can also match your battery capacity in amp hours to your solar output in watts. A 300 amp hour battery would need around 300 watts of solar, for example.

For example, if your trailer is rigged for a Furrion setup, and you battery is rated for 200 amp hours, you could use the:

-Go Power Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller # 34282610, which is a complete kit that contains a single solar panel with built-in solar controller, solar cable, battery clamps, ring terminals, quick-connect cables, SAE solar plug, XLR-style solar plug, and carrying case.

Attached is a FAQ that goes into more detail on how you can determine how much solar you are going to need.
