Understanding the Keystone Cougar OTG, Off The Grid, Solar Package
Keystone RV’s OTG or Off The Grid package is the completely engineered OEM solar power system owners have been waiting for. The number one goal with this factory option for the 2020 model year was to eliminate the trial and error of sourcing an aftermarket solar power solution. There are two configurations now available on Cougar, Cougar Half-ton, Passport and Bullet RV's. Owners can choose between the OTG Solar Prep (solar pre-wired) or the OTG Solar Camping Package (170 Watt Panel 30 Amp Charge Controller installed).
What is the OTG Solar Prep:
Because select Keystone brands come equipped with an expandable Zamp Solar 2 port roof cap, owners will save time and money when they make the decision to take things to the next level and upgrade their solar capacity. Travel trailers and fifth wheels with OTG prep include factory wiring for up to 3 Zamp Solar Legacy 170 Watt Solar Panels, or 510 total watts on the roof.
A Zamp Solar side wall port for OBSIDIAN SERIES portable solar panels; connections for a pure sine wave power inverter charger and batteries located in the pass-through storage; and up to five outlets prepped for inversion, depending on the model. With OTG prep you have the flexibility to pick and choose aftermarket components that meet your specific needs.
Factory Installed OTG Solar Power Packages:
With Keystone’s optional OTG package, owners receive components were handpicked by the Keystone engineering team for their compatibility and quality. You also get the additional assurance of installation that is integrated into the build process and done by a team that is intimately familiar with you coach. OTG packages typically include a 170w Zamp roof-mounted solar panel; a 30 amp Zamp Solar charging systems, depending on the model.
