Keystone Cougar OTG question

[Ozmanutah]

I have a 2021 Keystone Cougar 23MLS with OTG. The RV came with 1-170 Watt Zamp solar panel, 40AMP PVM charge controller and 2000 Watt Inverter. I have added two additional Zamp 170 Watt solar panels to the roof for a total of 510 Watts which is supposed to be max for the wiring from the roof to the charge controller. My questions is can I add an additional panel to the portable solar panel outlet? I am upgrading to a 60 AMP MPPT Charge controller and the Victron MultiPlus-II 2x 120V Inverter.

The Zamp portable panel connection port runs direct to the battery bank and does not run through the onboard solar charge controller since most portable panels have a built-in charge controller of their own. Using a portable panel in that port should create no issues and will basically be a standalone setup.

But would it overcharge the batteries?

No, even with multiple sources, the charge controller(s) prevent that in much the same way that they do when connected to shore power and the converter/charger is active and adding power to the system.

Thanks. I would just like a little more charging Capability.
