Solar Power Disconnect Switch
The Solar Power Disconnect Switch is located
on the monitor panel. Turn this switch to
OFF
Position if the batteries are off
.
3-Port Solar Cap
The Port Solar Cap (located on the roof) is
intended to make it easy to add additional solar
panels to the roof. The 3 -Port Solar Cap when
fully loaded has a maximum input rating of 450
Watts.
Single Solar Port
–If Equipped
The Single Solar Port (located at ground level)
is for using a portable solar panel, it has a
maximum input rating of 150 Watts. The Single
Solar Port is connected to the coach batteries
through the solar charge controller (located
inside rear driver side exterior compartment).
When connecting a portable solar panel, a
separate solar charge controller is not needed and
will reduce the effectiveness of the portable solar
panel.
NOTE: The Solar Charge Panel is not intended
to make the coach battery system
“maintenance free.” The solar panel will
not completely compensate for
continuous low amperage draw from
components such as the propane gas leak
detector (if equipped), the dash radio
clock, and the radio station memory
circuitry, for example.
Although the Solar Charge Panel can
help to extend battery life, the
motorhome shoreline should be plugged
in routinely to “top off” the batteries. We
also recommend following regular
battery inspection and maintenance,
especially in cold weather.
See “Battery Care” in Section 6 -
Electrical.
