We just got a new to us awesome 2010 19’ and it has a solar port on the front driver side. I am unsure if this model year came with a solar controller when the Zamp port was installed and need to figure out where to look and what it looks like. There is a victron bmv700 installed for Bluetooth battery monitoring. I am however unsure if there is a solar controller so I don’t know if need to I order a solar suitcase with or without one.
Benefits to hooking up panels directly to battery? Use Zamp Port? It’s all New to me!
Looking for insight since I am new to RV life AND solar. The solar is an investment so I want to get it right. Main purpose would be so we can charge batteries while out exploring during the day in boondock situations. Plan to also get a small inverter generator for running AC in the south when it is an inferno.
Here is the listing and has some pictures of the electrical components:
