Optional Solar Panels 

The optional solar panels will charge your batteries when sufficient sunlight is available. (Picture 35.1) The solar charge controller is installed at the 
factory for the type of panels and batteries installed on your Roadtrek, and Erwin Hymer Group NA strongly recommends that you make no 
adjustments or changes to the charge controller or its programming. If equipped with a display, the charge controller usually displays either system 
voltage or amperes generated by the panels.
