What happened to the 10 and 20 watt maintainers Zamp supplied to ORV for the roof? The Zamp site shows them all discontinued.

What is ORV substituting these with? None or some other brand?

I think they discontinued because more folks are ordering their trailers with at least one 170W Zamp rooftop panel.

My 2020 does not have one. We are full time so not needed but the one on my 2017 is great for keeping the batteries charged in storage. I hear people say they are worthless but mine keeps 2 6 volts fully charged as long as the battery switch is off. 10 watt panel is plenty to make up for the 4% loss per month.

I agree, they help out. But I guess they are relics of the past like me.
