GoPower solar
I must be blind. On our 2020 Eagle 319 MLOK there is supposedly a lower connection to hook the portable GoPower panels up to.
Found the roof mounted one but nothing down near the ground. Anyone give me a clue where this is supposed to be?

I have an HT and it’s right by the batteries in front.

Agreed, should be by the batteries, or maybe in your outdoor control panel if you have one.

Should be inside your docking station. The pigtail should be in your Jayco zipper bag.

Ahaaa....thats what that pigtail is for. I see nothing in my docking station but I'll give a good look next trip out. Thanks Earl. I should have asked at the PDI...one thing I missed.

Mine is in the docking station up at the top below the light. Has a rubber cover plug in it. Should have a sticker identifying it.

I believe mine is in the wet bay as surprising as that sounds. There is a sticker and plug. That bay has openings for the wiring to run.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you have the roof mounted panels, you won't need the front plug by the battery. The one by the battery is for stand alone panels with built in controller. It's just a plug with leads going to the battery.
The roof mounted panels need their own controller which needs to be mounted inside the TT.
Basically it's 2 totally different setups.

Roof panels are not efficient as the sun does not hit them at correct angles. A ground panel can be pointed at the best angle for optimum exposure. Ground panels have small controllers in them and plug directly in.

If roof panels charge your batteries up, they are as efficient as then need to be without the hassle of setting a portable system. I have 200 watts on the roof and give me about 8 amps flat and 10 amps when I tilt them toward the sun.

Finally went to storage and found the plug. It's as Mike stated...in the docking station at the top. Plainly marked out. My bad. Also we cover our rv so the panels on top wouldn't get the sun. I have a small 20 watt solar panel rigged up outside that is keeping my battery charged. Wired it direct. Was thinking about wiring it thru the go power plug but would have to leave battery disconnect in the on position...probably not a good idea.

My GoPower socket is right by the front cargo door, but I won't buy GoPower panels.

I have a 2019 class C, Redhawk and can’t find the other end either! I was given a pig tail connector, it’s a white square’ish plug with a bunch of low voltage wires coming out of it. But was told by dealer it was a for a Ford Accessory connector. Is this the pigtail you guys are talking about?

I have a question for you a fellow 319MLOK owner. Ours is a 2019 and has a funky weird smell outside the rig which is strongest near the door and toward the front of the unit. It is not always strong but comes and goes. It’s not a sewer smell. Have you noticed this with your unit?
