I have a 2018 161. I figured out that “solar ready” means that it is pre-wired for solar and I need to add a solar charge controller in addition to the panels. The pre-wire location was marked with a sticker inside the camper. That sticker has been removed. Anyone have the location of the wires with some dimensions? How do you access them? Just drill a large hole and go fishing?
Thanks.
My trailer has the solar wire tied directly into the battery. It’s setup for using portable 100 plus watts panels with attached charge controller. I confirmed the by looking in the junction box on the front of the trailer. Be warned, you won’t like what you see in there. I completely removed that box and added my own with a couple of bus bars and screw terminal connections.
The box had a lot in it and use large wire nuts hold all the positives and negative wires together.
For me, to put a controller inside I will need to separate the cabling coming from the solar connection locations from the main 12 v charge line. .
