Solar

Forgive me if it’s been answered before or even asked but I’m going for it haha.

I’m looking into a solar panel for my 2021 Keystone Hideout trailer. It’s a 22 ft 176BH AND already has the external plug for the solar panel plug in. I am told it is “Solar Ready”. Looking for suggestions on which is the best panel and/or cheapest from others who use the same set up. I only have 1 battery and also debating if I go through and add a second or use the solar to help. Thanks in advance.

I'm using a Zamp 200w portable "suitcase" kit. I'd recommend Zamp or Renogy and a minimum of 100w. I've also heard good things about Go Power. The portable kits come equipped with the panels and controller. They easily connect to the factory plug on your Hideout, just verify the plug type as you may need an adaptor depending on the connector provided with the kit. These act as a battery charger to top off your battery after use overnight.

Thanks for the input. That was enough to help me research a bit more and I purchased a GOPOWER 90 watt kit. Super easy plug in with digital controllers
