This video details a complete installation and review of the Renogy 3.8kWh "GO FAR RV Solutions Kit" into a 2021 inTech Flyer Discover camper / toy hauler. This kit has the absolute beginner in mind because it lays everything out for you with very clear instructions and "paint by numbers" assembly.

In the past, RV Solar Kits have bundled components together without the necessary wiring, fuses, switches, and busbars. With the new line of RV Solution Kits, both 3.8kWh and 7.6kWh, Renogy puts nearly everything you need to install your off-grid kit in a weekend into one fantastic package.

Karin previously had zero experience with off-grid RV solar power or electrical installations in general. By the end of our time together, she not only learned how to install everything in the kit, she could explain it all to her partner. She's off-the-grid and going!

*The factory installed SAE solar port on this inTech trailer was meant to be used with a specific solar panel, the port has a reversed polarity SAE plug (positive and negative are reversed). This means to use any other company's solar panel, including Renogy's, you will need a reverse polarity SAE adapter, these are inexpensive and can be found on many online retailers like Amazon, https://tinyurl.com/4232u4dr

To test if your plug has reversed polarity, insert the positive probe on your voltage meter, in the positive plug end, and the black probe into the negative. If you see a negative voltage reading, then your polarity of the plug is reversed.
