If you have the rooftop panel, won’t the zamp port already be wired into the system without a regulator needed for the portable? Or am I missing a step here?
Also, where is best location to install a zamp port on an Escape 19? Thanks!

If you get roof solar then an add on port for portable use will normally be wired to your roof’s solar controller, so no need for a second controller for the portable. If it’s wired this way. Which is a good way to do it.
Best place for a port is as close to solar controller as possible, so on a 19 that’s driver side exterior near the front.
