2016 sport solar

Has anyone added more the a 100 watt panel to a 16? If so how did you configure them?

Hoping someone weighs, as I have the same question ... and the same trailer.

In the meantime ... how can I tell if my 2016 Bambi came solar-ready?

Look under the the street side dinette seat where you will see lots of wires going to the charger water pump and so on. You should find a yellow and a green wire that are not connected to anything. The opposite ends are in the ceiling near the roof fan. If you remove the trim around the fan you will find them tucked up inside.

I have two solar panels on my 16'. Lew (Lewster) installed them for me and mounted one on each side of the fantastic fan/vent. They fit. He did have to move the tv antenna. He mounted a new antenna on the back street side next to the air conditioner and covered the old mounting hole on the roof. We moved the smoke detector on the inside to cover the old antenna controls. It covers the old hole in the ceiling perfectly, and it's a better location for the smoke detector that does not now go off ever single time I cook something. We just stuck a couple of rivets in the old smoke detector screw holes. You don't even notice the old mounting location.

Also had a couple of new batteries installed. It's all been working great for 3 seasons now. I am beyond happy with the set up and the power.
