Hello Daryl,

I'm sorry to hear that your solar panel has failed. Unfortunately, I do not have access to a database that shows what specific equipment was installed on each camper, and what a long list that would be if it did exist!

Based on my research, it appears that with the solar option, your camper most likely came with a 50-watt panel. However, I haven’t been able to find any definitive information about the controller, or even if it came with one originally. Given how much solar technology has advanced since then, it’s likely that any new solar panel system will not be compatible with your existing controller.

The Go Power Eco Solar Charging System with Digital Solar Controller - 80 Watt Solar Panel # 34272627 would be a great upgraded system.

Did your solar panel connect directly to your batteries? Do you have a controller currently? If so, could you send me the model number?
