I have a 1999 roadtrek think i ll do the 200 watt solar with a mppt controller.
Solar panels for roadtrek rv.
A 100 family owned group with a constant focus on attention to detail customer satisfaction and a spirit that springs from their love for the product.
Anywhooo i am rethinking my overall install.
That i am lazy after all i want to mount two to the roof of the fiberglass top roadtrek and keep two as supplemental to put out when needed.
A prewired cable entry plate on an rv is a simple way to have your rv solar ready without the need to run additional wires into the rv.
The rv solar panels convert the sun s energy to power which is channeled in wires that link the panels together and take the power down to your rv.
The client got a 300w solar charging system which can feed about 75ah day onto the 220ah agm battery bank via a blue sky mppt charge controller.
304 12 i wanted to add a solar panel to my roadtrek 170 popular as this would allow me to extend my boondocking camping trips and the same time do it for around 300 dollars.
The one thing solar is excellent for it topping off batteries bringing them up to full charge.
Roadtreks and other van conversions make up a large percentage of the rv install side of our business.
Originally i was going to have all 4 panels as remote panels.
A solar charge controller.
Thanks for clarifying some things for me.
Not yet sure if that s doable.
Not being solar experts we read a bunch of online stuff and asked some of the experienced solar users on the roadtrek yahoo list.
Taking care of two external panels will be easier than 4.

Solar cable entry plate.
Solar panels are sold in varying sizes but a 100 watt panel is a commonly found size particularly for rvs.
Part of the family.
Single 100 watt solar panel installed.
In 2019 roadtrek proudly became part of the rapido group family.
That panel is rated at 100 watts at peak efficiency meaning on a 78 degree cloudless day at solar noon on the equator during the equinox.
Lithium batteries are smaller and lighter which means you save on space and weight.
I don t know too many people who rv under those conditions.
I m going to try and mount one 200 250 ish watt panel vs two 36 cell panels.
Why choose an ecotrek battery over an agm battery.
But before the power gets to your coach it has to make a couple of pit stops.
The main 10awg cable run uses a quick connect mc4 connector base for both the red and black cables.
The question was did we need it often enough to be worth the cost.
