I have a 2018 Hideout 21.

I have to admit I am a tad confused about what I am being told.

The dealer told me the plug in the front of the unit is for a permanent solar setup. They said the portable ones would clip onto the batteries. But why then does it matter what the wattage of the panels is, if they are only keeping the batteries charged? Makes no sense.

Keystone told me that it was a Furion system that connected directly to the main electrical system and, depending on the wattage of the panels, would power all the appliances with the exception of the AC.

I'm trying to sort all this out, but clearly the people who should know... don't.

Anyone have some real answers?

Thanks,
Robert
