Solar Panel Options for 2021 Prism 24FS
Question:
Ok, so assuming we go with the 1,140 watts, where do the additional batteries you recommend 6 total physically go? Space wise, where are they located. Please show a diagram. Also, how are you recommending they be connected? Parallel or in series? And why? Thanks.

When installing solar panels and building a battery bank the location of battery bank is dependent on size, quantity and dimensions of batteries used, as well as available space for application. How they are wired is dependent on if you want a 12V or 24V system, and again what specific battery and quantity is selected. The Go Power Solar AE-6 All Electric System with 2 MPPT Solar Controllers,1,140 Watt Solar Panels, # 342-75011 is a large system. The panels have a foot print of 59-1/8" x 26-5/16". I am not sure you have enough real-estate on the top of your 2021 Coachmen Prism Motorhome to accommodate that many panels.
