For a complete setup with the WAY Interglobal Elite Portable Solar Panel # WAY38YR you're also going to need a solar controller, and MC4 connector cables.

This solar panel will also work with all WAY Interglobal PWM solar charge controllers.

Since this is just a solar panel you will need to purchase that all separately.

Thank you for the photo of your 2016 Ram 3500's bed rail which sits 59-inches above ground. You are correct that the recommended minimum clearance between a bed rail and the underside of the trailer's overhang is 5 to 6-inches, as shown in…

Answer 10

Hey Jay. It sounds like you are on the right track here because a sidewinder pin box will be your only option for pulling your 5th wheel since you have a short bed truck with the Rambox. That said, you are right that the Reese Sidewinder cannot be…
