Lol prep

So many options when it comes to solar - your gonna have to do lots of reading --- depends on how much power you need or recovery time you need

wolf whistle has been doing some great research - hopefully he will chime in

But more important than the solar panels is your converter and battery charging system -

The prep is a zamp solar two wire connector to battery

Solar Prep package on many RVs is a sales gimmick. I is usually just some minimal wiring, no hardware. 1st thing you need to do is to determine how much power you will need( want you want to runa nd for how long), where you camp ( percent sun). Then you can start looking for panels, mounts and controllers and probably additional batteries.
