Description
Renogy RV Kits are carefully arranged to meet your RV needs. This kit includes two 100-Watt 12-Volt Monocrystalline Solar Panels, 1 Adventurer 30 Amp PWM Charge Controller, one 30 ft. 10AWG Male and Female Connectors Adaptor Kit, one 16 ft. 10AWG Tray Cable, 1-pair of Branch Connectors, a BT-1 Bluetooth Module and 1 Renogy Cable Entry Housing. The Adventurer 30 Amp PWM Charge Controller is specifically designed for RV applications as it allows for aesthetically clean flush mounting on walls and is negative-grounded for battery compatibility. It also features an LCD screen for displaying system operation information and data and allows for full control of parameter settings. The control is embedded with self-diagnostics and electronic protection functions that prevent damage from installation mistakes or system faults.

The kit works great. Install was pretty easy. One of my panels showed up shattered, but they sent me a new one pretty quickly. Happy I went with renogy. The bluetooth module is nice. It always shows my battery status, but doesn’t always bring up the numbers from the panels. I have to disconnect and reconnect nearly every time for it to show me all the info. That’s my only knock on the kit.

High quality finishes on all components, simple and intuitive assembly/mounting. And I love the look on our school bus conversion.
Two quibbles, however.
Minor one: kit is sold as “for RVs” but the panel cables aren’t long enough to connect panel-to-panel end to end, cable length only allows for side-to-side mounting–fine for home applications but RV mounting needs to be flexible and dynamic, this means I’m forced to either by more connectors and make my own pigtails, or change the entire configuration of the roof…all for 12″ of more cable in the pre-wire. Too bad.
Major quibble: the through-roof cable cover is kind of a joke, no mechanical fasteners (relies on epoxy and magic to stay put and water tight–and even then it was a massive chore to scuff up the shiny plasit nooks and crevices enough to ensure a decent bond with the epoxy) and zero chance of adding your own mechanical fasteners as the flange is almost non-existent; needs a complete redesign, or at the least more options.

I installed this kit on my Ford Econoline Van that I am building. Virtually everything needed for installation was included in the kit. That was one of the reasons I chose this package. I elected to mount the panels on my Yakima rack system. I used the supplied mounting feet and bolted them to square aluminum tubing between the rack cross bars for a solid attachment. The controller fit nicely in the electrical box and the wiring was plug and play. I was concerned that the panels would not keep up with my minimal loads of a mini fridge and vent fan. But after a few weeks of continuous operation, the panels have kept the battery full even on overcast days. I wasn’t sure if I needed the Bluetooth module, but after setting it up, the info loaded app is very useful.

Fast delivery. I replaced my 1995 43 watt unit with this unit. Installation was quite simple. There is plenty of cable supplied. I’ve used it on two trips now and am totally satisfied. Getting plenty of power for all my needs, which mainly was to keep my batteries charged. It does a great job and gives me added security of having plenty of power. I do have a gas generator for backup, but this has been keeping up with my charging needs. Highly recommend.

Perfect solution to keep my 2022 Salem Cruise Lite 171RBXL battery charged. Easy installation even for a first timer like me. Excellent online information to assist. Inatslled and working with no issues at all.
The controller is really to operate.
I Highly recommend Renogy

Bought this to upgrade and replace my existing 1990s unit. I am 100% satisfied. It keeps my batteries at full charge, was easy to install and works great. Plenty of wire cable is provided.

So far the solar system is working great, i have a camper van, it will power the little fridge with no problem, and keeps the 2 giant deep cycle batterys charged, the only issue i had was when i installed the panels i didnt have room to install them close together, one on the front of the van one onthe rear behind the a.c. unit on the roof, so I had to get a jumper harness to tie the two together, and the company site wouldnt let me order what i needed, it kept changing my order to “other things you may need” so it was a website issue, I ordered thew somewhere else and got it hooked up.

Service was great. Good price. Box was severely damaged. Product didn’t seem to be damaged. So I expected it. I have not had a chance to install as of this survey. So I have given it an poor rating.
