  • 2021 24 MPR Toy Hauler. Solar Panel just to charge my battery.

    Greetings.
    I know very little but I do know that there are plug in on my roof for solar panel.
    Do I need something special between solar panel and battery to charge it?
    If so would you kindly direct me to that company to buy this item.
    Thank you very much!

    There are lots of options... Some cheaper, some more expensive. I'll point you to my favorite.

      You need a solar charge controller. You need to make sure you size the solar charge controller based on your solar panel(s). There are many in this forum who can help do that if you can tell us what solar panel(s) you have.

            BoatFix -- spend $5 and get Will Prowse' Solar Power Made Easy! book from Amazon. A few nights of reading and you'll have all the information and knowledge to make an informed buying decision. As a bonus, if you have someone else install the system you'll know if they are doing it right.

              Thank you, and thank you all!

              I have done enough research that I now know that it all is too expensive for me to do at that this time.
              Yep... I'm one of those fixed income retirees whose been watching his buying power vaporize by for and fuel costs (amongst other things)
              Time to get a side job!

                You are not alone. I hope you enjoy your trailer. The 24MPR was our 2nd choice. A very nice package in my opinion.

                  Thank you! Yes, we start traveling this September. We have a side x side we are taking with us and plan on a lot of trail riding.
