    Solar and fridge questions - 2500rl

    Hi All,

    Sofar are new 2022 2500RL is great and looking forward to are next camping season. My first questions to the group is where did the assembly people hide the solar charge controller and how are the dry camping fokes enjoying the newer 12 volt only fridge?

    ​Hi and welcome, sorry I can't help with your question but someone with a new model might be able to.

    I did not know that any of them came with a charge controller.

    Hi!
    The charge controller is just inside the drivers side pass-through door, on the "roof" of the pass-through. There is a 165watt panel on the roof and the controller is an MPPT 250w model. Haven't been dry camping, yet, but I suspect we will be investing in larger battery storage and more panels before retiring the portable generator.
    Hope this helps!

    A quick correction here: The charge controller is an Furrion MPPT 25 amp model. At 12v, the output would be 300 watts.
