Installation Notes
This installation was completed in July of 2025. The customer contacted me after I upgraded another trailer belonging to a friend of his. He wanted me to upgrade the solar on his trailer and install a Victron solar controller he had purchased. We set an installation date and the customer brought the trailer to me for the installation.
This was a quick and easy installation. I was able to utilize all the factory wiring and simply replace the factory installed solar controller with the provided Victron SmartSolar 100/50 MPPT. I then removed the factory installed solar panel and replaced it with three Newpowa 200 watt pro panels. The panels were installed in series to keep the amperage down to utilize the factory installed solar wiring. The installation only took a few hours to complete.
