Our 2022 only has a 100W panel. To do this I will need someone to upgrade our system. Defiantly outside my paygrade.

@@johnlynch5221 Yes, I had the dealer upgrade my setup. I had a budget for the whole trailer and the upgrades fit into my budget thankfully.

What size truck are you towing this trailer with? Do you feel that the truck you have pulls it well?

@@angeli1332 I have a 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 with the 2.7L Turbo engine. It does pull well and more than capable for the 187RB. I have around 3000 miles towing on it, including a trip to Florida and back from Indiana. At times, I forget it’s even back there.

We have the same trailer and very happy with it. I also added lithium batteries to it. We have been boondocking. I put in a dc - dc charger in the truck plus we brought a small generator with us. ( I know it is over kill, but we are new to trailer camping). Well I picked up 200 watts of solar panels for the ground today. Right now all we are using is the 200 watt that came with the trailer. I was looking to see what make of solar was on the roof and came across your video. I am glad I did. My question for you is how many amps are you getting with the 400watts on the roof on a sunny day? When I do the math 400 watts divided by 12v is 33 amps on a good day. I don't know the size of wire the was run in the trailer from the factory. I will tomorrow when I climb up there . For that reason I am thinking of wiring the two 200 paneks in series. If you could let me know what you get on the amperage. Good video. Thank you.

@@paulcarovinci6796 Thanks so much! So far I haven’t been able to do see the maximum amps coming in. I haven’t been in full sun except for recently when we went to Florida. I never got below 80% charge there so before the camper saw full sun it was charged up enough to be on float charge. With the 300Ah of lithium I’m usually on float charge whenever I check, so I rarely see bulk charging except in the morning which is not full sun charging. I’m usually in the woods with partial shade and clouds. Sorry I can’t answer your question. If I ever get that info, I’ll let you know! Thanks for watching!

@@paulcarovinci6796 I do know I’ve heard from many others that solar panels will give you about 70% of their listed power realistically, so I wouldn’t expect to get anymore than 23 amps coming in.
