Solar - what to buy

Our new Coleman Leprechaun has a 10 amp solar plug(Furrion). Can anyone give me a good recommendation for a solar panel? A lot of what I see doesn't have the right plug.

Wouldn't Furion's own solar panels have the same plug?

Wink Multiple options. . .

I have the same plug on my Fuzion. In my reading I have found a quality company, Go Power, that sells two portable option. A 80 watt and a 120 watt suitcase style setup. They include 3 plug options for hookup. The Kemp & Furrion are the two most RV makers put in the rigs. They also provide the standard battery clamps as well. Check them out at their website and look at the use of their products on Utube.

The solar plug is just straight wiring to the 12 Volt system (no solar charge controller behind the wiring) nothing special about it, or brand specific (furrion, zamp, etc.). Any brand solar panel can be used. Just get the adapter plug for that port. You will also need a charge controller, which most of the suitcase style portable kits come with.

I saw that awhile back. Well done and shows where to get the plugs. The Go Power 120w suitcase provides this as one of the 3 plug attachments.
