Add a 360W solar panel to your Camp King RTT and Camp King Outback Series canopy Camper! The SolarKing panel is uniquely designed to neatly fit on the top of the Camp King Rooftop Tent and the Camp King Outback canopy camper. 

The SolarKing is permanently mounted to the top of the aluminum CampKing shell via 9775 adhesive backings. It's always deployed, soaking up the rays on top of your rig with zero effort on your part. Best of all, these are the most rugged panels on the market, ready for the abuse associated with prolonged off-road use.

Solar King Roof Top Tent Solar Panel for Camp King RTT and Outback Series Key Features

  • Constructed with off-road-ready materials: fully sealed, low profile junction box is impenetrable to dirt and water; adhesive backing dampens transfer of vibrations to solar array; busbar-free PV cells with redundant connectivity to withstand physical and thermal extremes. 
  • Angular positioning complements the CampKing wedge design: Morning and afternoon solar incidence angle for panels is improved when the CampKing Roof is opened (angle vehicle so the roof is pointed toward sun when the CampKing is open). Panel positioning, while the CampKing is closed, is ideal for overhead, mid-day sun. This often corresponds to times when tent is closed for transit or parked.
  • Better battery performance: It's no secret that battery longevity depends on the charge profile usage habits of the electrical system. Keep your 12V battery in peak condition by maintaining healthy charging habits and not overdrawing your aux battery.
  • Built-in convenience: No need to remember to pack it, plug it in, or set it up; the SolarKing is permanently on your CampKing, working hard to convert photons into colder beverages or brighter nights.
  • Portable & practical: 360W panel provides you ample power to your 12volt system. Run fridge/freezers, lights, inverters, and a host of overland accessories with little fear of depleting your battery.  Adventure further and longer knowing you have 360 watts of power overhead. 
  • Designed by Rooftop tent experts: Rhino Adventure Gear is the USA importer / distributor for Camp King Industries products. We worked with Merlin to provide our customers with the most efficient rugged panels on the market. To date, we have installed hundreds of Solarhawks on Skycamp rooftop tents with incredible results. With the SolarKing, we can do the same for the CampKing RTT and Outback. As enthusiasts ourselves, it was imperative for us to the best solar solution. Our owner has run the SolarKing panel on his Camp King RTT for years with impressive results. Extensive real-world overland product testing has ensured the SolarKing is exactly what serious off-grid campers need to level up their off road game and unlock bigger adventures.
  • Warranty is indicative of high-quality: Material & Workmanship- 5 years. Power output- 25 years with 90% of nominal rated output for years 1-10 and 80% of nominal rated output for years 11- 25.

SolarKing 360W RTT / OutbackSeries  Solar Panel- Technical Specifications 

The architecture of Photovoltaic Cells arrayed into SolarKing panels  

  • 360 Watt, 23.5% efficient, monocrystalline array yielding a significantly higher power density than a thin-film panel. 
  • Merlin's monocrystalline cells are highly efficient and not prone to moisture sensitivity 
  • Merlin's patented grid technology dwarfs conventional connectivity levels afforded by older solar tech with busbars and also provides a robust & durable foundation analogous to rebar in cement.
  • Redundancy of connectivity improves panel durability and resistance to thermomechanical stress (aka overlanding adventures).
  • Elimination of failure-prone aluminum busbars results in a more robust and longer-lasting solar panel compared to the more widely available portable solar panels distributed by big-box outdoor stores and Amazon.

    SolarKing Battery & Charge Controller Compatibility

    • Compatible with 12V batteries including lithium batteries, lead-acid batteries, and AGM batteries.
    • An MPPT charge controller is required. This means that portable battery units with built-in non-MPPT charge controllers will not work with the SolarKing (this includes the Dometic PLB40). 
    • The GoalZero Yeti Portable Power Stations may not compatible with the SolarKing. Please check the VOC input rating of your charge controller for compatibility.
    • Your charge controller input rating must exceed 23.90 volts

    SolarKing Wiring Specifications

    • Array terminates in fully-sealed, low-profile (18mm high) junction box.
    • 36" 10 AWG insulated wiring runs from the junction box to 

    SolarKing Adhesive Backing Materials

    • Backing 9775 adhesive backing
    • Permanent adhesive - once it's on, it's staying put

    How to Install a SolarKing panel on your CampKing RTT or CampKing Outback Series canopy camper

    • Clean the CampKing aluminum shell with soap and water, then with alcohol (ideally isopropanol) before application.
    • We suggest positioning the SolarKing panel so the junction box of the panel is facing the front of the CampKing. This way you can run your wires by avoiding the opening and closing mechanisms of the CampKing.
    • Lay the SolarKing module onto the CampKing into position centering it front to back and side to side as desired. You will have to play in either direct - us as you see fit. 
    • When in the proper position on the tent, peel the front adhesive backing and stick the front of the panel down to the CampKing. You will then unpeel and stick the remaining adhesive from the front to the back. When the entire panel is down and stuck, apply pressure around the entire rim of the panel with your hands, 30 seconds or so at a time. Make sure there are no air gaps between the panel and tent. Use a heat gun as needed to ensure proper adhesion. 
    • You can elect to use your preferred waterproof clam to feed the wire through to the inside of your camping, or simply route the wires around the front of the unit. The best wire routing approach depends on the installer's skill level and the 12volt system specifics. 
    • Connect to the positive and negative wire of the panel as instructed by your MPPT charge controller. 

    PLEASE NOTE: It is your responsibility to ensure you fully understand how solar panels will integrate with your 12V system (starter battery, aux battery, charge controller, powered appliances etc). There are nearly infinite setup options possible, certainly more than we can describe here. There are excellent educational resources about 12V systems and solar panels available online. Additional items such as a REDARC DC-DC charge controller, lithium aux battery, solar charge converter, or wiring connectors may be needed depending on how your setup is configured and how you intend to use it. The SolarKing solar panel is not designed to have a phone, light, or fridge plugged directly into the panel output cable; rather it works as part of a 12V battery system via a required charge controller. (Just like any 12v solar panel).  

    If you currently only have the battery that came with your vehicle and you are looking to install solar for camping, please reach out and we can discuss a more inclusive 12V system package tailored to your needs.

      As with all Rhino Adventure Gear products, we offer installation at either of our two California shops- located in San Marcos, San Diego & Fremont, San Francisco.

      Shipping SolarKing RTT Solar Panels

      Due to the size of the SolarKing, the panel is shipped on a pallet via freight. Please reach out to discuss shipping options. Alternatively, free warehouse pick-up is available at each of our two locations.

      Fascinating exploration of God's Word!
      Urban Legends of the New Testament: 40 Common Misperceptions is an impressive work by David A. Croteau that discusses 40 "commonly circulated myths, repeated throughout the culture as common knowledge, but which isn't true." But we're talking about the infallible Word of God, right? That is correct. But according to the author, certain passages of the New Testament have become victims of the notorious Urban Legend phenomena. The titles of each chapter are the actual legends and are presented as if the author really believes what he is writing to be true. The reader will soon find out that is not the case. Croteau goes on to discuss the incorrect interpretation versus an accurate interpretation and then ends the chapter with his opinion of what the text means, followed by a practical application section. The presentation and discussion of each myth is clear, although some are harder to piece through than others. The length of the chapters vary according to the history of the myth and depth of the discussion. Topics vary from the birth, life, and crucifixion of Jesus to Paul's profession, the plan of salvation, hell, divorce, money, pastors and their families, and cults. You can pick up the book and read only the chapters that interest you, although I do encourage you to read the introduction and epilogue. The prologue discusses two types of legends: a mistaken-contains wrong information; misleading-those that need clarification. The cause and solution for urban legends of the New Testament come down to three components: Context, Greek, and Backgrounds. Croteau clearly discusses this at the end of the book and my only criticism is that I would have liked that information in the introduction. I believe it would have aided in my overall structure for comprehension. Overall, the research was fascinating and I learned—a lot. This quote from the final conclusion summarizes the purpose of this book: "In the end our goal should be to interpret Scripture as accurately as possible, to apply that interpretation to our own lives, and to be transformed by God's Word so that our lives may bring glory to the One who rescued us from an eternal destiny in hell." I highly recommend this book to all readers. Don't plan to read it in one sitting. Use it as a study guide and tool to inspire you to dig deeper into God's Word.

      Only Orthodoxy Will Lead to Orthopraxy and Orthopathy
      Format: Kindle
      This book authored by David Croteau is truly an enjoyable yet at the same time a convicting read. Even though it was written about 10 years ago, the principles of interpretation advocated by him to deal with the "mistaken and misleading legends" are timeless. Out of the 40 legends, I have encountered at least half of them in the local church, writings and even seminary especially issues pertaining to salvation, Christian living and women's adornment. The main takeaway is this: Just as there are three things that matter in property: "Location, Location, Location", similarly the three main things that matter in interpretation of the Word is: "Context, Greek, and Background Information", or even simpler: "Context, Context, Context". David Croteau has demonstrated in his 40 legends the utmost importance of context in correctly interpreting a particular passage which was unfortunately taken out of context. The interpretation can further be handled even more accurately by taking into account the Greek language and the socio-historical background behind the text. In fact, I have been focusing on these three elements in my hermeneutical approach whenever I come across passages which I need more understanding. I don't know Greek; but with the many useful online Greek tools nowadays, I can always do a word study which more or less balances my lacking of Greek knowledge. Also, the study of socio-historical background is extremely illuminating if one have access to these resources. Personally, I discover that a proper understanding of background information can eliminate most of the mistaken or misleading interpretation of a text. Lastly, I totally agree with David Croteau's conclusion: "In the end our goal should be to interpret Scripture as accurately as possible, to apply that interpretation to our own lives, and to be transformed by God’s Word so that our lives may bring glory to the One who rescued us from an eternal destiny in hell." His conclusion reminds me of a phrase which I encountered years ago: "Orthodoxy Will Lead to Orthopraxy and Orthopathy." Indeed, only by "accurately handling the word of truth" (2 Tim 2:15) can we realise the necessity of holy living and the proper response that we should have towards our living God.

      The book is also great in pointing to additional resources for further study
      Format: Paperback
      Other than the Bible, I hesitate to use the term "must read" for a book. This one is definitely a "should read" for anyone who teaches, preaches, or wants to minister more faithfully. The book is engaging, and offers both a negative (doesn't mean this) and positive (means this) response to common urban legends of the NT. You'll be surprised by some beliefs you had that you didn't even realize were not correct, or should be adjusted. The book is also great in pointing to additional resources for further study. Pastors, seminarians, and lay people will all benefit from this book.

      Rescuing the Bible from its Friends
      The inerrant, infallible Word of God has endured countless intentional assaults of misrepresentation by its enemies. Unfortunately it has also had to endure the unintentional insults of misinterpretation by its friends. Dr. Croteau has given us an excellent handbook to gently correct. His specific examples are well considered and his general principles are well established. Highly recommended.

      Thoughtful, Encouraging, Didactic and Accessible
      The title is what drew me to the book, and then the shortness of the chapters convinced me to take up this book and read it. I've read various types of theology books, but this one addresses underlying viewpoints that the average Christian assumes. While addressing these legends, the author does a wonderful job helping the reader grow in his or her biblical interpretational skills. And the author does this in a way that is both gracious and easy to understand. Even if a reader may not agree with every conclusion, I heartily recommend this book, not only for the legends it addresses, but for the opportunity to learn how to interpret the Bible.
