Solar port

[CRUSINTHERVLIFE]

We have a 2018 Keystone 2520RL Grand Touring Ultra Lite . On the front of the trailer there is a port for solar hook up. Does anyone know where the controller is for this, or is their not one. And is their a inverter , charger for the batteries ?

That port is for portable solar, and there isn’t a controller. It should be connected to the battery. You can use a Volt meter at the port to verify if it’s hooked up. Portable solar usually have a controller.

Unless the previous owner added an inverter you probably do not have one.
You will however have a converter that supplies 12 volts when pluggged into shore power as well as charging the batteries.
The converter will only charge the batteries if the battery disconnect, if equipped, is in the "on/connected" position. My advice is be sure the disconnect is "on" & forget it exists.
Another bit of advice! When storing the rv either disconnect the negative cable from the battery going directly to ground or remove the batteries storing them in your garage on a battery tender checking water levels often & topping off with distilled water. The battery disconnect, if equipped, does not/will not totally disconnect the parasitic drains resulting in a dead battery in as little as a week depending on battery conditions.
