Question:
I just bought a motorhome solar ready. It has a thing on the roof with what looks like 2 plugs. Inside door is a go power electric panel. Can I just plug panels into it. Thanks

Thanks so much for the photos, and yes, you can add a solar panel and plug it in. What your photo shows is your solar controller is GP-PWM-10-SQ, and those plugs are MC4 branch connectors. That solar controller is a 190 watt, 10 amp controller, so you will need a solar panel that meets those specs:
- Go Power Overlander Expansion Kit - 190 Watt Solar Panel # 34282182
It is likely you will need extended cables to plug into the branch connectors, and you can choose from the following, based on how far the solar panel mount will be from the plug:
- 3 Foot Cable: Go Power MC4 Output Cable with Male and Female Connectors # 34274672
- 10 Foot Cable: Go Power MC4 Output Cable with Male and Female Connectors # 34276216
- 15 Foot Cable: Go Power MC4 Output Cable with Male and Female Connectors # 34279532
