"Solar Ready" and upgrading battery etc

[Schrimscher]

Reukert, we have a 2018 26Y also and I just installed the Renogy 100W kit to keep my battery charged. The other end of the roof solar connector comes out in the driver side belly compartment next to the battery compartment. These 8 gauge wires are tied off in a little black box in the front and upper corner all the way to the back.....it's marked solar. Sure saved a lot of work and the Renogy kit works fine, Wish there was room for a second battery. Good luck

We have the 26 XD and friends recommended 2 100W Renogy mono panels and a Kodiak inverter. Looks like the panels wire into the Kodiak and I can plug near anything into the Kodiak..20 lbs..and accepts 30 amp, 2 12 v, several USBs. They have worked with this set up for about 6 months and love it..currently waiting on the Kodiak.

That Kodiak think looks interesting...maybe if I was more mobile camping and different st ups - like one time tent, next time a trailer etc....but for the cost, I can't see it when I can hardwire batteries and an inverter into a compartment under the "house"...I don't need that portability function.
