Do you really need to purchase the expensive ZAMP solar panels? If you already own solar panels for a solar generator (Jackery, EcoFlow, Bluetti, ect..) you only need to get a solar charge controller. In this video I show you how to use non-ZAMP solar panels with a trailer/travel trailer/RV that is pre-wired with a ZAMP port. Just please make sure that you do not hook up the solar panels directly to the ZAMP port without a charge controller, as the ZAMP port is directly connected to the battery. As described in the video, here is the charge controller and cable that I’m using. There are not affiliate links or sponsored; these were purchased with my own money. However, if Jackery, Anker, EcoFlow, Bluetti would like to sponsor me - give me a ring :).
