Hi y'all!
Gil is having some medical issues and will be recuperating at home for a while.
I am not comfortable driving the big motorhome to the dog shows alone, so it will sit in the driveway until he is better.
For my birthday this month he gave me a wonderful present; a little used 2017 T@B 320S teardrop trailer in like new condition and a 180watt Zamp solar suitcase.
Now to the issue(s):
The trailer has ONE lead acid marine battery. I haven't attempted to use the Zamp system yet (and probably a good thing) because I have questions that the sales literature doesn't answer.
The trailer has a pre-wired solar plug that says it's solar ready.
I went on the Zamp website and saw a chart that shows the 180 watt suitcase depicted with a sample trailer that has TWO batteries. What will happen if I try to use this with ONE battery? I am afraid to try to use it now until I hear back from experienced folks. Is this too much wattage and will it damage the T@B?
If it IS ok to use, what is proper procedure? Do I have to unplug from shore power or is it ok to leave plugged in to 30 amp while solar charging?
Thanks for any light you can shed on this.
Dianne
