I have a 2022 2600RB. It came with a Furrion solar panel and controller installed. I have a few questions about how it works...
1.If I understand correctly, the solar panel isn't actually powering anything...it's just absorbing the juice from the sun and moving that energy to the battery. The battery is what powers certain things in the trailer. Is that correct?
2, What battery is the solar panel charging? The deep cycle RV battery mounted to my trailer tongue?....or other batteries somewhere else in the trailer?...both?
3. If it's the deep cycle then I assume if I disconnect that battery the entire trailer is dead with no power, correct?
4. Am I correct in assuming that these items are being powered from the battery fed by the solar panel...
Fridge/Freezer, ceiling vent fans, interior lighting (switches), all exterior lights (including in storage area), tongue jack/light, heat blower, water pump, water pump, radio....any other?
5. When I connect to shore power does that then power any of the items above?....or are they all still powered via battery?
6. Since my fridge/freezer are powered via battery then can I assume it will be operating while I am rolling down the road?
7. Does turning off the battery disconnect switch on the docking station impact the solar panel operation?...still charging the battery?
I'm sure I'll have more. Thanks for your help.
