Verified Purchase:Yes
High quality finishes on all components, simple and intuitive assembly/mounting. And I love the look on our school bus conversion.
Two quibbles, however.
Minor one: kit is sold as "for RVs" but the panel cables aren't long enough to connect panel-to-panel end to end, cable length only allows for side-to-side mounting--fine for home applications but RV mounting needs to be flexible and dynamic, this means I'm forced to either by more connectors and make my own pigtails, or change the entire configuration of the roof...all for 12" of more cable in the pre-wire. Too bad.
Major quibble: the through-roof cable cover is kind of a joke, no mechanical fasteners (relies on epoxy and magic to stay put and water tight--and even then it was a massive chore to scuff up the shiny plasit nooks and crevices enough to ensure a decent bond with the epoxy) and zero chance of adding your own mechanical fasteners as the flange is almost non-existent; needs a complete redesign, or at the least more options.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Overall the solar panel kit is excellent; already producing good voltage & power even in overcast skies. Only complaint is with 2 panel kit, only 1 panel's worth of wiring was supplied. The installer had to provide additional wiring to complete install.

I just completed the installation and startup of the Renogy 200 Watt 12 Volt Solar RV Kit, and love it. After mounting the PV panels and wiring, I installed the Adventurer PWM Controller last week, it was dead as a doornail. It was easy to reach Tech Support at the factory, and they indicated a replacement was necessary. Customer Service sent me a replacement controller in two days and I was up and running. The smartphone Bluetooth app and transceiver provided with the package is very slick, and I'm looking forward to the high sun returning soon to the northern hemisphere here in Nevada. My wife will love my not having to fire up the noisy Onan "Quiet 4000" on our RV every morning from here on out!

The solar panels are working great. Installed them nearly three weeks ago. Haven't charged my two flooded cell batteries with electrical hookup or generator since. At night, charge drops to between 50 and 75% depending on how much lighting I use. Come daytime, the batteries return to 100%. I am not using the inverter yet however. I'm sure charging my various electronic devices will put a larger demand on the system. I have a solar suitcase as a backup if needed. The Bluetooth module can be a little quirky, but I've pretty well figured out how to work around its quirks.

Now on our 4th trailer with Renogy solar panels. Cannot find better equipment or nicer people to deal with, I cannot imagine spending time not in an RV parking lot without energy efficient solar. Renogy makes solar easy. Best quality and best prices! I'm thankful that other rv-ers recommended Renogy to me years ago.

Renogy provided assistance in selecting the right Solar Kit for our Navion 2016 V. It arrived in timely manor and I installed in about 8 hours. Most of the time was spent understand Winnebago's Pre-Wire for Solar. Seems like for our production was installed in a variety of ways. Once we understood how the Pre-Wire was done installation was straight forward. Good product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Don’t know if it required but the battery temperature sensor is only 10 ft long which limits where the controller will go. Is It required? My other installations didn’t have this.

The kit was complete and I installed it on my motor home. I didn't have to buy nor did I need to purchase any additional items to get it working, If I could make a suggestion it would be to include in your RV kit and inline fuse connector. I had to order this individually. Everything is working as anticipated, Thank you,
