Question:
I have a 2020 Jayco whitehawk 28RL trailer and I want to put a Solar panel on the roof that will plug directly into the solar ready ports. Can you help me find the right product?

Hey Cari! I'm assuming you have an entry plate like # 34273840 already on the roof with some connectors on it. Do you also have a sticker/template on the wall for a solar controller? See the attached photo from my Jayco Jay Feather before solar installation.
If you want to use the etrailer RV Solar Panel Kit # e49FV you certainly can. There will be wires running behind that template which will connect to the controller. However, you will have visible wires running off of the bottom of the controller, and the controller won't be flush with the wall.
The Go Power Overlander Solar Charging System with Digital Solar Controller # 34282181 will have a cleaner look since the wires will be behind the controller and the solar controller will sit flush. Of course, this comes at a higher cost. Either setup will work. You will also need some butyl tape # AL28FJ and self-leveling sealant # 34427034145-1 to complete the installation.
Are you wanting to add the panel to keep your battery bank topped off?
