Jayco and other major brands now selling solar ready travel trailers – Here is what you need to know
Jayco has had many customers receive their travel trailers that are pre wired for solar or solar ready. This includes two kinds of connections we have seen on the Jayco units. They are either using a portable solar connector on the side of the RV or they installed a Go Power cable entry plate on the roof.
If there is a side connection, a customer needs to look at our portable solar units and our portable solar guide for more information.
If they have a cable entry plate on the roof, here are a couple links to help you learn about and purchase the right RV solar kits for your RV:
- Go Power Pre-Wired for Solar

- RV Solar Guide
