Atlantic Solar Products RVS-1C Info

Does anyone have any documentation on this model?

Atlantic Solar Products RVS-1C

Have this on our Coach, reports the Chassis batteries voltage properly including when I have a external battery charger on the Chassis batteries. Solar light is illuminated. There is a small solar panel on top of the forward roof A/C unit.

I just don't think it charges the Chassis batteries

Perhaps the solar panel on the roof is bad. I can't find any documentation on this Charging System, just some new old stock for sale.

How would I trouble shoot this system including the solar panel?

Is this Company still in business but moved to California?

AND, what's up with the full battery graphics above the 15 volts?


This pic from the net (nor out Coach). This pic appears to show the lower limit led/light at 11v on as well, our Coach doesn't have that (issue?).

I have had solar for 15+ years and have not seen one of these. Just guessing the icons above the voltage bar represents how well the battery is charged. 11volts (v) = very little charge to 15.5v = full charge and at 15.5 there is still sunlight coming in.
The box with Solar probably indicates when solar power is being produced by the panels.

The problem is, unless you find out how this unit works and what is being indicated, it is worthless. I suggest you look into other monitoring systems.
