Yes, 20 watts. Hopefully enough to keep the battery charged. I had a smaller one on my tent trailer that worked OK, but it didn't have a stereo and charging stations for phones and tablets. If battery gets too low I have a small generator for backup.

I had this solar panel that can mount to the tongue jack. I added a input to the box so I wouldn't have to run wire all the way back to the Zamp port.

I just welded on a couple pieces of angle iron to keep it simple.

Where did you get the bottom mount for the LP tank?

Finished the solar controller wiring, vent and attached the regulator. The battery is a larger than stock, group 27 and there is still room for leveling blocks and wheel chocks.

I made a new mount for the propane tank forward of the original position for better access. Sewer hose holder is mounted to the box. I just need to attach the propane regulated to the box, add a vent and run the wiring.

I will also install a solar panel controller and rum the Zamp wires trough it so I can use any panel through the factory wiring.
