We just bought a 2021 231vrk in December but haven't had an opportunity to go camping yet. While loading the necessary stuff in the rv (sewer hose, fresh water hose, etc) I noticed a small plug near the front passenger side above and forward of the pass through door. Does anyone know what this two prong plug is for? I thought it might be for additional solar panel, but not really sure. TIA Jack

It is a solar panel port. Typically it's a Furrion brand and it should say "Solar" on it. These ports are typically wired directly to the battery and can and will charge the battery if you plug a solar panel directly to it. I recommend using a solar charge controller between the panel and the battery to protect the battery from being overcharged.

Thanks! Our unit has a factory installed solar panel and controller. This must be fo additional panels. Again thank you.
