I had (2) Renogy 160W Flexible Panels on my old coach and moved them to my Magnitude with the Go Power 10A Controller.

I have the 30A Renogy Rover MPPT Charge Controller from my old coach as well I am debating about using on my Magnitude. It was an outstanding Charge Controller for those (2) 160W panels. On a sunny day I could run the 5000BTU auxilliary A/C unit in the garage of our Outlaw without a problem. It also has an Equalization Mode for the batteries as well.

The only issue is the Renogy Rover Charge Controller is huge and heavy. I may look at another option to eventually replace the Go-Power 10A with a 30A.

Unfortunately you cannot get the direct replacement Go Power 30A Controller because the GP-PWM SQ Controllers are only sold directly to the RV manufacturers.

You can get the go power controllers from Amazon

I have the 30Amp on the Accolade which wwas installed with my solar add-on at purchase.
