Count me in with this frustrating lack of info on the new solar system and 16 cu 12 volt refrigerator. We recently took delivery of a 2022 Reflection 337RLS. Love this trailer!! I have been searching for info on the solar setup to find answers to a few questions. All the manuals are severely lacking.
1. The Furrion MPPT 50 controller has an eco mode. What does that mean? There is nothing in the manual or online at Furrion.
2. I park in the garage hence no solar. After a short time the lights on the front of the MPPT went off. What does this mean?
3. The MPPT manual says to use sealed lead acid, AGM or lithium batteries. My dealer installed two flooded 12 marine deep cycle batteries. Is this setup ok?
4. My dealer wired the second battery parallel, positive to positive and negative to negative. The MPPT controller is wired to the first battery. Should it have been wired positive to the first battery and negative to the second battery?
5. It seems this can be a dangerous system to work on if the panels are producing a charge. How do you safely disconnect power from the panels with no inline disconnect switch?
6. How does this solar charging intermix with the charging from the onboard convertor when plugged in to shore power?
This is my first rv with solar so thanks for any responses.
