If your 2022 Coleman 17B is already setup for solar then it may already have a solar controller so you wouldn't need an additional one. It doesn't hurt to double check though so definitely look at your setup and see if you have the controller.

If you don't have a solar panel controller then you need to pick one up, like the Go Power PWM Solar Charge Controller # 34280503, so it can send the proper charge to your trailer battery.
