Greetings, forum folks! First time poster here. Also, first time RV-owner! We have a 2022 231VRK that came with a solar panel and a solar controller. We had been looking at RVs for a good six months and I knew I wanted solar so I ran into a lot of RVs that were "solar ready". That basically means that they have an auxiliary solar panel plug, much like the cable and satellite plugs. That plug is on just about every model after, oh, maybe 2019 or so. Before that it's hit or miss.
Anywho, I sort of just "assumed" that since our's came with a controller and a solar panel that it would have an auxiliary solar panel plug - because what I want to do is add an independent solar panel to augment the built-in roof panel. WHoops - wrong assumption! I cannot find any solar panel plug anywhere!
I suspect this particular arrangement is very specific to this particular model so please don't suggest to "look around for it" because I have looked just about everywhere. So unless it's in a pretty obscure location, I think this exact build just doesn't have a jack for an additional panel. I'd be very happy to be wrong on that!
Has anyone ran into this situation with their RV?
Thanks!
Andy
