Hello
I am a newbie in RVs and seriously looking into purchasing a 2025 Forester TS2371.
I plan on changing the battery system to 2 x 100Ah or 1 x 270Ah Lithium battery and trying to obtain the brand/model of the Converter and Inverter used. I beleive the Converter may be a Progressive Technologies PD9200 (which I will need to change) but I cannot find any information on the Inverter. I am now questionning whether there is even one. which would be another issue to address. Is there an Inverter? Progressive Technologies?
Also, I would have the 190W factory Solar and would like to know the Solar Controller Brand an Model.
Regrettably, the factory has been non-responsive at this time.
Thanks for your answers. Any and all feedback and suggestions are very welcome.
Happy New Year!
 
Your 2025 Forester TS2371 has a twin labeled Sunseeker TS2370.
These entry level units are somewhat different than Forester or Sunseeker units built on the Ford E450 or Mercedes Sprinter chassis units. Yours is built on the Ford Transit cutaway chassis.

I’m pretty sure you do NOT have an inverter. (An INverter allows 120VAC appliances to be powered from 12VDC batteries.)

Any new motorhomes are usually provided an assortment of owners manuals of all the different accessories found in the “home”. They are usually just gathered in one of the kitchen drawers for you the owner to build your own library.

best to ask that question about inverter at the dealership when you look at one

most factory supplied solar /battery / inverter is best described as ..... starter systems
one or two panels and a PWM 30 amp controller

work out where you want to camp and how long you want to be off grid
then get a system designed to suit you

be aware ... if you want to power BIG loads like a air conditioners
be prepared to spend a LOT of $$$
you may even decide to get a BETTER type/style of air conditioner

design a system that allows you to camp at powered campsites or use generator for the big 120v loads

solar and battery for those nice milder campsites that don't need a/c
