What's wrong?
The solar power system on 2024-2025 Brinkley Rv Model G fifth wheel trailers is designed to collect power from the roof panels and send it through wiring, connectors, and downstream components to recharge the battery bank. In normal operation, that wiring layout keeps current within the capacity of the parts that carry it.
On affected trailers, the solar panels were connected fully in parallel instead of a series-parallel layout. That design lets electric current exceed what certain downstream components can safely carry. The extra load can overheat wiring or wire connections, and the recall repair changes the system to the series-parallel layout.
Owners can notice the solar system stops producing power the way it should. The battery bank will not recharge as expected, which is the warning sign tied to this defect.
Who's affected?
The affected components are the solar charging hardware: the rooftop solar panel equipment and related wiring.
