Nature Power Briefcase 120 watt Solar Panels

[lionfish]

My wife and I purchased a 2015 Reflection 29rs 5er and want to add solar to keep our batteries charged.
Camping world sells the Nature Power Briefcase, they tell me that the briefcase comes ready
to plug into our Reflection. However, the receptacle on the Reflection looks different than the
plug used on the briefcase.

Has anyone used this product? Are you happy with it? Did you need some sort of adapter
to plug the panels into the 5er?

Thanks,
David

Hi David - I know that some folks have purchased suitcase chargers and plugged into the Furrion outlet on the side of the trailer. They bought adapters to do so. If you search the forum, you may be able to find details. The Furrion panels are rated for 95Watts. The wiring from the factory was designed for this set up. The fuse that is installed with the Furrion port is 10amps. Hooking a 120watt panel to the existing wiring might be problematic and cause blown fuses. I know others have used 100 watt panels, but I haven't heard of any 120 watt attempts.

The plug on the trailer is a Furrion plug. You will need the adapter for it. Some systems come with it.

Edit: I use a 120 watt solar "suit case" from Zamp Solar and it works fine with the 10 amp fuse. Some of the trailers were wired with 7 amp fuses, so be sure to check.

David - I see that you posted this in both the "New Member Introductions" and "Tech Corner". I deleted the one in the "Tech Corner" because that section is used to ask specific questions to the factory. If you want me to resurrect your post there, just let me know.
