We plug an 80W Zamp into the Zamp solar connector on our '16. It has all the circuitry needed to plug and play.

I have no idea why it would not be advised to pull in the slide out when connected to the truck - we do it all the time, as the last thing before departure. Sliding it out is the first thing we do after backing into a new spot so we can get a good reading on lateral level and decide whether to raise one or the other wheel. Sliding it out shifts the balance about half a bubble, so if a ramp is needed under one wheel, we keep the truck running and connected for the back and forth.

Hello. I bought a used Rpod 179, 2016 model and am adding solar panels for off grid camping. 2 questions.
1. Do I have to have a charge protector if plugging the solar output directly into the solar outlet on the Rpod? I know I would need one if connecting directly to the battery.
2.if the battery is fully charged and and the trailer is still connected with a 7-point plug to the truck is it safe to use battery power to open and close the slide out? The manual advises against it and I don’t have a manual crank.
Thank you in advance for your help. I consider myself to be somewhat of an electrical idiot.
