The OptiMate Solar Duo Solar Charging System part # MA49JR would be a solid option. It's a 10 watt solar charger that would mount on the roof of your fifth wheel that would do a great job keeping the battery bank topped off that you have.

Hey David, from previous customers of ours who have the same 2020 Keystone Raptor 424 we have determined that your pin box style is the Lippert 1621 which means for a Gen-Y gooseneck adapter you'd want the #GY58GR that you referenced.
