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.

      Strong legs, somewhat industrial but trendy also
      Size: side table leg
      Good legs, some what utilitarian or industrial, they are strong as they are made out of pipe, and assembly is fairly easy once you get the idea of how it goes together. They are roughly 1.5 feet across maybe a bit less adjustable height on each leg, if you have wood floors you may want to put a pad under each leg as they are full metal pipes. Pretty interesting idea and does not cost much.

      Pretty good, take your time and install it well
      Size: side table leg
      Materials are pretty solid, but once assembled it’s not as sturdy as you would think it should be since the material itself was solid, i say give them a chance, everything out there that’s similar is way over priced

      Heavy duty legs for table.
      Size: side table leg
      Perfect legs for a table I am having made. I have an cottonwood slice. It's heavy and needed something substantial. These are perfect.

      Robust pipe & fittings with a beautiful, smooth black finish
      Size: side table leg
      This set of pipe & fittings for use as low table legs is heavy duty and aesthetically pleasing. Especially when the pieces are handled, the tactile sensation is much nicer than with plumbing steel pipe because this product is beautifully finished smooth. The black pipes are quite smooth as well as the fittings. The pieces are all also pretty robust, though the wall thicknesses are less than in pipe for pressurized water systems. Of course that makes sense as this product does not need to hold fluid pressure. In my view they got the heaviness factor of this product just right; it's not as heavy or robust as black pipe used in natural gas supplies, but still robust and pretty heavy. Assembled, this product is absolutely stiff and unyielding for a solid table that could hold a man's weight easily. The feet utilize a brilliant scheme so that each foot can be independently adjusted for an uneven floor. Thus a level table on an uneven floor is easily accomplished. The feet simply extend the effective leg length by screwing counter-clockwise. To prevent any shifting at the threads adding some pipe compound or teflon tape may be advised. Even masking or duct tape might work as the idea is to just fill any gaps where male threads meet female threads. The four flanges at the tops of the legs provide a wide, solid surface for attaching the table top, with either hidden screws underneath or you could through-bolt a glass table top (provided you have the skill to drill glass!). I think this product would look great with a glass top. Assembly is quick and easy. The hardest part is drilling holes underneath the table top to accept screws. No pipe wrenches are needed as the pieces screw together by hand to an adequate tightness. If any doubt whether they are tightened enough have a strong person with grippy gloves finish. The "X" in the center attaches to the legs with a very clever machine screw system tightened with the included hex wrench. This is presumably because if tightened simply by screwing the fittings, the point of snugness would not likely be where the "T" fittings are exactly vertical. The maker has solved this problem so that you are assured that all legs will be in the perfect vertical position once everything is tight. The setup is also nice and rigid once tightened. This is a huge benefit of steel pipe projects; they are really solid. The black finish is clearly very durable, like a powder coat. It appears that it will provide excellent protection against rust. Coverage is complete; I found no dings or scratches anywhere on any piece. Overall this is a very well-designed product for function and aesthetics. Perfect for a beautifully renovated warehouse condo where an industrial vibe is desired in a rock-solid table that won't shift around. The smoothness of the pipe is top notch. I've used lots of pipe in projects, some of it actual water pipe and some decorative pipe such as this. I've never seen better quality decorative pipe as this maker put in the effort to finish it beautifully smooth. At currently $34.99 I find the price quite reasonable too.
