Solar panel charging

[DennisB]

Hi, I have a 2020 trailmanor with factory solar installed.
When the trailer is parked and not in use will the solar panel
Keep the battery charged?

Thanks,
Dennis

Unless the trailer is parked in a dark garage, the answer is yes. It takes a little bit of electricity to keep the battery charged, but not much. Even in the shade, the panel can keep up with the need. This presumes, of course, that "not in use" means that everything, including things like the refrig, is turned off.

This is a great time to remind you that when the trailer is parked and not in use for more than a week or so, you should not plug in the trailer's power cord into an outlet.
