Solar Prep (If So Equipped) - Jayco NORTH POINT 2023 Owner's Manual

Solar Package (if so equipped)
If expanding upon OEM installed solar package, ensure all components are
compatible with existing product. Any additional equipment will reduce Car-
go Carrying Capacity (CCC) when installed.
Your recreational vehicle may be equipped with a factory installed solar panel kit that in-
cludes lithium batteries, a DC/DC power converter (allows charging from the tow vehicle
connection.), Solar Panels, and an energy management control system. For care and opera-
tion, please refer to the manufacturer's instructions provided with your RV
Never connect your tow vehicle harness to a recreation vehicle equipped with
a lithium battery without a DC/DC power converter installed. Direct tow ve-
hicle charging may cause permanent damage to the lithium battery unless the
vehicle charge line is properly voltage regulated or disconnected.

Solar Prep (if so equipped)

Adding solar panels or equipment will affect the carrying capacity of your
recreation vehicle. Vehicle weight ratings should be considered before adding
these components.
Your recreation vehicle may be wired with a (exterior) plug in that will
allow the batteries to be trickle charged using a free standing solar panel.
In most models, the solar panel kit is a customer purchased and installed
option. The solar plug location will vary by model, but may be located
on the exterior sidewall, on the A-frame of the RV, in the outside utility
center, or mounted up on the roof.
There are capped off wires located in the area of the battery. These wires
are the battery charging wires. Once these wires are properly connected
to your battery, you will then be able to plug the solar panel into the
charging port.
When the system is connected properly, the solar panel will supply power to the battery, the
battery will supply power to the converter, and the converter will supply power to all the
12V systems as needed.
Replacing Lighting
Replacement lighting must be the same type, voltage and wattage listed on the lamp fixture.
Use of incorrectly sized replacements can overload lamp circuits and may create a fire haz-
ard by overheating the fixture.
