Zamp solar???

We recently purchased a Vengeance 31V that has a ZAMP outlet for connecting solar - I don't have any maintenance manual for my toyhauler and don't know if anything other than solar panels are needed, (cant' seem to get any response from ZAMP). Any suggestions on how many panels or what size. Any suggestions on what is needed, (regulators, etc.), and what additional items may be necessary? Thinking of adding another battery.

go to Zamp they have a selection of portable plug in units that have everything you need. My rig was wired the same.

I have the Zamp connection on my Forester MH. Everything I've read tells me the panels, charge controller and cord come as a kit. Supposedly plug & play. I don't see a need for it personally at this time as we don't boondock.

Asking for others to tell you how many panels/wattage you need is like asking someone to tell you what kind of car you need without explaining how many people and cargo you wish to haul in your new vehicle.

Let us know what you want out of solar and an estimate of your power usage and folks will step over themselves to help you.

Zamp: a serious boondocker won't waste their time and effort with this system.

Zamp

Zamp Solar is American made, not Chinese. And I am sure they are top notch. But they sure "proud" of their systems at the checkout.
