Joining in the fun...

Hi Everyone, I'm Carol. After much preparation in getting a new (used) RV after my 2012 Springdale Travel Trailer was destroyed by a falling tree, I'm ready to hit the road. In Oct. 2019, I purchased a 2006 Itasca Cambria. I have spend the winter remodeling and upgrading the decor and functionality. All systems are in great condition except I need help with wiring a 200w solar system. I don't have any clue the best wiring configuration for my rig. I know to mount the controller near the battery bank (I have 2 sealed 12v batteries) which sits behind the driver's seat. The converter/fuse panel is on the opposite side of the RV near the door. I also have a 1100w inverter to install too. I need advice on how to run wiring throughout the RV. Thanks and look forward to reading your threads. Happy travels.

Hey Carol welcome aboard.

Ok nice class C. IMO adding solar for your needs should be really easy to do with a 200 watt portable suitcase solar panel. I actually covered this in a video we did about 8 months ago.

In Part 2 of this 3 part series I covered:
• What we did to the battery bay, portable solar, propane, generator, under the chassis and a couple of other things

If you're interested, go here and see how this solar set up works. It's super easy and will provide what you'll need.
