Question:
I have a 2019 Forest River Sunseeker and it is supposed to be solar ready but I have never explored the options for this. Would this be a recommended option and would I simply install this instead of adding the components necessary to utilize the solar ready aspect of my RV?

Hey Rich, welcome back! You could definitely install the Rich Solar RV Solar Charging Kit w/ 2 Panels item # RS97VR on your 2019 Forest River motorhome, whether it's prewired or not. It includes two pre-drilled 200 watt rigid monocrystalline panels, a 40 amp hour MPPT solar charge controller, and all the MC4 cables and mounting brackets needed to get the panels installed and connected to the charge controller.
As far as your motorhome being prepped for solar goes. Do you have an entry plate like item # 34273840 installed on your roof?

I do not have this on my RV. I have a single plug adapter on the left side of the entry door. I also do not have any indication of a controller on the RV. Where would I find that if it were installed?
