See the complete solar power playlist - Link to solar power blog posts on the LYRV website - In this video, I add two more Renogy 100-watt solar panels to go with my existing 5 for a total now of 700 watts. I explain how I mounted and wired them from rooftop all the way to my battery bank located in the fifth wheel trailer from the storage compartment.
I also show you a new mod that I made to the wiring connections and distribution. I cut out part of my RV toilet room wall and installed an access panel. Behind it, I have 2 buss bars for connecting the negative and positive solar panel wires plus a switchable 40A breaker.
On the panel front, I mounted my Trimetric Battery Monitor display. From the 2 buss bars down to the solar charge controller, I ran a new cable run beefing up the wire gauge from 7GA to 4GA.
