anyone who may come across this we found them, they come together in the wall in between the kitchen and the bathroom right above the thermostat for the main AC unit. I believe we did have a sticker at one time because I can see some residue once I put a flash light on an angle mon the wall. That was the good news, luckily since I bought a EPevert MPPT instead of a PWM I decided to mount that in the bathroom towel closet which is exactly on opposite side from the sticker about 62" AFF and put the MT50 on the kitchen side for easy monitoring,so i cut a 4x4 section out in the closet to access the wire and them was going to mount the MPPT over the hole and let the wall chase help vent the heat sink on the back of the unit, this is what I did, but jayco threw me a curve ball, even though I cut the hole exactly where the sticker residue was but on the other side I found was able to pull 6 foot of slack out of the run from the roof port, however the section from there to the batteries was actually 6" to short, so I had to move up one shelf. With the fan shroud out and the holes I enlarged behind out bedroom ceiling lights I confirmed there was no slack on that run. Everything worked out in the end and looks good, I put an 8x8 return grille over the first 4x4 hole I originally cut below the MPPT final location which will help air flow anyway, but just a heads up for those who may opt to cut the kitchen side first.
Oh did I say everything worked out, well sort of, my wife went up the ladder and was looking through the gap where I took down the fan shroud to watch the short wires while I tried to get 6 inch of slack, she then asked "hey honey where does this black pipe go"? I told her it was the vent for our black tank tank why? she then said " well I know in houses those go through the roof why doesn't it in our camper"?? I said " well it does there is a vent on the roof but on RVs they use vent caps so rainwater and debris dont go into the tank" she then informed me our pipe was open and just sticking an inch above the wall. She was right, there is a vent cap 3" above it..... really jayco, vent the black tank into the roof trusses???? This is issue number 12 with this unit, and by no means one of the big issues, our hub not having a cotter pin in the castle nut and losing a wheel and hub was the worse, and while assessing that I notice most of the 3/8" nuts that hold the wall to the frame were either missing or so loose they were about to fall off, replaced those w nyloc, after the new and upgraded axle went in, sigh....
Lucky for jayco I am a commercial GC and can fix things faster then I can drive to the closest dealer, I did make them send me a nice check for that axle though.....
