Added solar to my travel trailer

Last week I installed a 200 watt Renogy solar kit to my trailer.
I used everything from the kit. I purchased two in line fuses and added those to the installation.
The only thing I changed was that I used stainless steel screws 1 inch X #10 to attach the panels rather than the supplied fasteners.
I made room to easily add a third panel later if we think it is needed.
Easy install! I called Renogy support a couple of times to clear up some things and got good knowledgeable advise.
This is a simple kit with two panels, a controller and all wire necessary for the installation. As I said earlier I bought two fuses after talking to the tech guy at Renogy.
No pictures I don't like the hassle of posting pics on this site.
It is making juice and the batteries are happy, so am I.

    I hope you caulked the holes that you made before putting in the #10 nails, and also put a generous amount of caulking over all roof attachments!


    Yes I sealed up everything nicely.
    I used screws not nails.
