   If you didn’t use a Zamp panel you probably need a polarity reverser.  Zamp is backwards. 
Your email was a bit confusing regarding the controller.  There is no controller built into the Zamp connection on the RPod that I am aware of.  I have a portable panel with controller and polarity reverse adapter and it works perfectly.

	How is my Zamp port wired into the battery? Will Forest River give me a wiring diagram? I called Zamp and was told their units have built-in charge controllers. So I used my favorite solar panel and a charge controller and plugged it into the Zamp port. Didn't charge the battery, but I get battery voltage at the Zamp port. For now the panel is connected directly to the battery and my disconnect switch is open. That disconnects the Zamp port, too, but keeps the radio from killing the battery.
