Solar Panel Setup to Keep Batteries of Forest River Salem Hemisphere Topped Off in Storage
Question:
I have a Forest River Salem Hemisphere fifth wheel model SBF286RL. It has a Furrion side wall plug for connecting a portable solar panel. I want to find a panel that will maintain the two batteries while in storage. What would you recommend?

The Furrion Solar port # FSPINS-BS you have only fits with the male connector that comes on their solar suitcase. We had issues with that product so we don't carry it and they don't have a connector available as a separate part.
The best solar panel in my opinion we carry for cost to function is the Go Power Portable Solar Kit w/ Digital Solar Controller # 34282730 and then you can simply use the 7-Pin Trailer Adapter for Go Power Portable Solar Kit # 34270357 instead of using the Furrion connection and 30 foot extension cable # 34270356 to place the panel where it can get the best sun from your storage lot. This will easily do a great job keeping your batteries topped off as well since it can provide up to a 130 watt charge.
