How did you add the plug? Did you connect directly to your battery, or was there something already there from Thor?
The solar suitcase comes with large alligator clips that you can go directly to the battery. I removed the clips and added a 12 volt male and female setup wired directly into the battery with a 10 amp fuse. This is the same setup used on most Forest River Travel Trailers that are pre wired for Zamp Solar. I can usually top off both batteries within two hours on a sunny day. On a semi cloudy day as expected it takes longer. All the parts are available on Amazon along with the solar suitcase.
