Solar charge port on my 2500rl
I've got a solar charge port on the camper. Just wondering if it's direct to the battery or not? I already have Coleman 40watt panel And charge controller from my last camper, and ordered the furrion connectors. Just wondering what people did with their setups. Only dry camping for a 5 days this summer, the rest of the time I'll have power hookups.

Yes, those ports are wired right to the battery and should have a 10amp ATC fuse in-line on the positive cable. As long as you have the charge controller with the panel, you should be good to go with plugging in through the port.

I also have the solar port on my Reflection and want to get a solar panel to keep the batteries charged when she is not being used. Do I just need the panel and the special connector or do I need a controller as well. Any advice is welcome and any recommendations would be appreciated.

I believe the panels know as 'suitcases' come with the controller already wired into them. At least that is what I am hoping.
