Hello all Hull #1633. Does anyone use a portable solar panel for a little extra charge power with a LE2 platinum package.  The trailer has 400 watts of solar and i have a 100w Renogy suit case panel that i used with my old trailer.  I already have the adapter to go from Renogy to Zamp.  Is the extra 100W worth it and is there any problem with doing this?

Thanks in advance.

Given the right time (sun) and place (security for the panels) then more is better.  If you have the room and payload capacity to take the panels with you - then - why not?  There is nothing to "hurt" and only more energy to gain.

We use 200w Renogy panels when dry camping or boon docking for more than 3 days in one place.

See our article.

We've found that it's helpful when the trailer is shaded by tree's and we want to keep things topped off for longer stays.
