It sounds like you have the Solar Port Inlet for Furrion Solar Panel Battery Charger - 12-14V DC - Black # FSPINS-BS, which is rated for a max amperage of 10 amps. You can use a solar panel such as Goal Zero Boulder 100 Briefcase Solar Panel - 100 Watt # 287-32408 which has a max amperage output of 7 amps, or Go Power Portable Solar System with Digital Solar Controller - 130 Watt Solar Panel # 34282730 which has amperage output of 6.7 amps. You do not want to exceed the 10 amp limit on your inlet. We do not carry an adapter for the Furrion # FSPINS-BS but it is a simple 2 wire setup, so you can simply convert/splice your current 2 wire harness to attach to the new harness of the solar panel you choose to go with. I have attached demonstration videos.
