My wife and I will typically use the lights, the waterpump, the furnace when it is cold and the stereo. We have 2 batteries in our trailer and we found that we were running out of power after a couple of days of camping. We started looking at solar options and believe me there are a lot of solar options out there. We found that the Go Power line is recomended by many people in the RV market. We purchased the GPRV-125 and it came with everything that we needed to install the solar kit. It came with a solar 125 watt Carmanah solar panel that puts out 7 amps per hour in good sunlight, the mounting hardware to mount the solar panel on the roof as well as the wire and most importantly the 25 amp GP-PWM-25 digital solar charge controller. The only thing we needed that was not in the kit was the sealant for the solar panel mounting brackets. We have a rubber roof so we used Dycor sealant for the brackets. There is a good installation video of the GPRV-125 on You Tube that is done by Fraserway RV. Just look up Fraserway RV solar install and it should be the top video. Since we installed the solar kit we have imeadiately noticed that the batteries are lasting much longer then when we are out camping. We recently stayed out for 4 days without the batteries getting below 50%. We know this because the GP-PWM-25 solar controller has a battery percentage display on it. We were even running the furnace every night! One of the days it was raining and it still charged the batteries to 100% by the end of the day. We are more then pleased with the Go Power 125 watt solar kit and would recommend it to anyone that is fed up with their batteries running dead while they are camping. Another great feature is that the solar kit comes with a 25 year warranty which is much longer then the trailer will last. Great product that is backed by a company that has been in this market for a long time. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. GP-RV-125 Solar Charging Kit By Peter Anderson I bought this kit and it came with absolutely everything I needed to install the solar system. It has the 125 watt Carmanah solar module, the 25 amp digital Go Power regulator and all the wire and mounting hardware that I needed to put it on my travel trailer. The instructions for the installation were very simple and this was an easy install, in my opinion. The solar panel has been on for a couple of weeks now and I have to say I wish I had bought one a long time ago. My batteries never seem to be low and I just got back from a 3 day camping trip. I highly recommend this solar kit for anyone who would like to no longer worry about dead batteries in their RV. There is a 25 year warranty on the panel as well. Make sure you get a Go Power solar kit though because they have the best support and they have the better regulator that comes with the solar kit. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good quality and everythig you need to install By KellyM Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3GFSK4BIB1V1 This is a video I made on Movie Maker to show aveything that comes in the GPRV-125 kit, incase you are wondering. There is everything you will need to install the solar kit with exception of sealant which you will need if you are installing on an RV roof. I used Dicor sealant on the mounting brackets when I put this on my RV roof. The panel has been on my roof for a year now and it still puts out 7 amps on sunny days and has kept my batteries charged. The charge controller which is called a GP-PWM-25 (in the video) can actually handle 3 of these 125 watt panels but I have not had a need to do so. I have been very happy with this product, it is definitely higher quality then some of the other brands I have seen out there. See all 3 customer reviews...
