Yes, you can use the Redarc 200 watt solar panel with your RV that is pre-wired for solar, but you would not be able to use just the Solar Panel # RED86VR. Solar panels require a charge controller to regulate the battery charge so you would need to get the panel and the controller in one, with the following part number:
- Redarc Portable Solar Panel with Solar Charge Controller - 200 Watt Solar Panel # RED75VR
The # RED75VR will work with a pre-wired RV, but you will need an adapter for... view full answer...
The words solar ready unfortunately mean different things in the RV world. It could mean that you have everything needed but the panels or it could mean that you just have an access plate on your RV's roof or something in between those. I have included a help article that touches on the different possible things "solar ready" could mean. But, the best way to know exactly what you have in place, is to contact the RV manufacturer and ask what is included in their solar prep.

If you have an RV that was prewired by the OEM at time of build, it is almost that easy. It also depends on what type of system you want, mounted or portable and where is the factory installed plug located, roof or on the side of RV for a portable? First establish how many watts of solar panels you want/need, at least to start with, you can add later.
If you are ready to go with a large kit and are prewired with on the roof, I suggest the Go Power Solar AE-4 All Electric System with... view full answer...

There are a few different brands when it comes to solar power so I recommend finding out exactly which brand of equipment is installed on your RV. You may have an 2-pin XLR style plug in on your camper which would allow you to easily plug in the Go Power Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller - 130 Watt Solar Panel Item # 34282730 which comes will a solar controller. If you find it is a different type of port you can still use the # 34282730 as it comes with multiple connections... view full answer...
Based on the brochure for your 2018 Forest River Sunseeker it appears your RV only comes with a connector on the side of the RV for a portable panel from Zamp. You can still check your roof to verify if you have a Entry Plate # 34273840 as I have seen occasions where parts installed on an RV do not always match the information in the brochure.
I recommend installing the Go Power Overlander Solar Charging System with Digital Solar Controller # GP39MR as a starting point for adding solar.... view full answer...
The POL error code on your Go Power system after plugging in the Go Power Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller, # 34282610 is indicating a reversed polarity connection.

If you are using the 200 Watt Go Power Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller, # 34282610 or, similar product. A #4 AWG is the maximum wire gauge needed.

We do not have the parts needed to accomplish that and the Go Power Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller # 34282610 does not include the parts you would need for that. However the # 34282610 does come with the necessary connectors to attach to your batteries with or without a prep package. The 2 pin adapter you are referring to is the XLR-style plug which is used if your RV already has a prep... view full answer...
For your trailer with the Solar Port Inlet for Furrion Solar Panel Battery Charger # FSPINS-BS you can use the Goal Zero Boulder 100 Briefcase Solar Panel # 287-32408, or you can use the Go Power Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller # 34282730; you'll just need to be sure to not exceed the 10 amp rating for the solar port. view full answer...
To get that much solar panel wattage you'd want to start with the Go Power Solar Panel kit part # 34282185 and then add three of the panels # 34282182 and that would put you at 1,200 watts. If you ordered 4 of the panels you'd be up to 1,400 watts. This would cover everything though. view full answer...
For a similar solar panel setup that comes with a controller and longer wiring like you want you'd instead want the 100 Watt Go Power Retreat Solar Charging System with Digital Solar Controller # 34272635 as the Goal Zero Boulder 100 Briefcase Solar Panel # 287-32408 is just the panel without wiring or a controller and was intended to connect to a Goal Zero battery pack. view full answer...
If the solar panel could provide 15 amps of 12 volt power the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner # ACM135CH could be ran off of it. Since solar panel as a direct power source can fluctuate depending on access to sunlight it's not the wisest to run it straight off of a solar panel and instead having a battery bank get charged from the panel which then provides the power for the AC unit. Or use a generator like # 333-0003.
For a panel setup that has the amperage you'd need we have the part #... view full answer...
The solar panel system will have a controller that will run directly to the battery bank setup of your RV since it will be in 12 volt DC power whereas the Progressive Dynamics panel you have # PD4575K18LS8 is designed to convert AC power to DC power. Basically both setups would run to the batteries independently.
For a 200 watt solar panel setup we have the Go Power Overlander part # 34282181 or I also attached a link to a page that can help pick out the best setup based on your power needs. view full answer...
If you currently have the 165 Watts Furrion Solar Panel, # FR73SR installed that will have different connections than what Zamp products use. However, if the Zamp solar panel you have is their 160 portable unit, you simply connect using its solar controller instead of connecting to the existing roof mounted system and Furrion solar controller. You can have more than one solar controller supplying a battery bank. view full answer...

For a 30-Amp service RV with the Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger, # PD4045KA installed, I recommend the 1,000 Watts - 12V Progressive Dynamics Pure Sine Wave Inverter w/ Transfer Switch & Remote, # PD94FR. I really like the build quality of the Progressive Dynamics products and this component has an integrated transfer switch that will automatically change from inverter to shore power when you hook up to a power pedestal at the campground. The fixed-mount... view full answer...
For RV application I prefer the Go Power brand of products. If your camper is pre-wired from Jayco I believe they are using the same brand. There is typically two options available in pre-wired from the factory for "solar ready" either using a portable solar connector on the side of the RV or they have installed a Go Power cable entry plate on the roof. You will need to first determine the energy demands being placed on your batteries. If you will only be running the outdoor mini fridge... view full answer...
