Since the electrical panel that comes with the airstream has one common negative bus bar we need to split it so the circuits are separate from each other.
Airstream solar panel installation.
Otherwise here are our recommendatio.
I started with installing the solar panels first.
When we bought our airstream we knew we were going to install solar to give us the flexibility we wanted with our moving home.
The panels came from amsolar and came with everything necessary to do the installation.
We did a lot of research looked at so many other airstream solar setups and realized there was a lot to unpack to understa.
What s more with all 2019 airstream travel trailers leaving the jackson center ohio manufacturing facility with dedicated solar ready hookups zamp solar s wide array of rooftop and portable solar solutions make it easy for all airstreamers to harness the.
Somehow we pulled it off without a hitch.
Today zamp solar panels are used in all pre installed airstream solar packages.
The installation installing the solar panels.
This airstream came with a zamp portable solar panel plug which they wanted to be integrated into the solar system we installed.
Okay that is not entirely true we do have a hitch after all.
Complete and ready to install.
We had already very carefully measured and in our situation found only one suitable installation location for our panel.
Design a solar charging system utilizing a factory pre wire.
In the box was a gopower.
Upgrade our lithium battery system and install solar panels on our airstream trailer so we can spend extended periods of time on the go and have the ability to travel out in the middle of freaking nowhere.
100 watt solar flex panel 30 amp digital solar controller for 80 480 watts of power 50 of 10 mc4 output cable and mounting hardware for all of the above.
If your airstream trailer has one of the various solar pre wire options these can save a lot of time and money during an installation but due to the thin 8ga or 10ga cable you will be limited to about 300w of solar panels if this isn t enough skip down to section 3b.
These kits are perfect for keeping rv s campers and travel trailers from colonial airsteam fully charged.
We set up this system with expansion in mind so if they find that 400w isn t enough to offset their light dc loads they have the option of using a portable panel and or they could choose to install up to another.
