Questions?: Do you know where and what I need to add solar panels to this 2019 Forest River 167RB Salem camper?
Type of RV:

That is a pretty small travel trailer:
Wow, small trailers are some of my favorites! They are light and efficent. They don’t need as much power, good thing because they have a pretty small roof to install panels.
You will need to see how many panels you can fit on the roof. I would guess it would be only one or two solar panels. The 190’s below are probably going to be your best panel for the size.
