Is there going to be a wire pair from the solar roof gland all the way to the battery

Hi Everyone,

I traced the wires from the roof using a warbler/toner, then opened a 1-1/2" hole with a hole saw on my mark and the wires were right there. Small victory! FYI, this location was a foot and a half from where the wall sticker indicated they should be. Thank you very little, Jayco production team

I fished the wires out to learn they extended about 3' below the ceiling and ended, just floating in the wall, suspended about 4 feet or more from the floor.

My question: Is there going to be another pair of wires in the lower part of the wall which will lead to the battery? I did use a cell phone mounted borescope to look, but did not see anything that looked right. I'm kicking myself now, sitting at my computer at home, that I didn't take more time to look deeper in the wall toward the floor. Depending upon your guidance I will look again.

Thanks and Happy Trails to all!
JP

A side note, "looking up" inside the wall I discovered that the red lead from the roof port was cut immediately below the ceiling and an extension wire was attached to the stub with a wire nut, giving me that 3' red lead. I'm certain this is not safe and now will likely have to remove the roof gland and rewire the feed from the roof into that wall. "Thank you again, Jayco production team".

Congratulations and welcome.

I'm eight years into ownership with my current TT and honestly I'm at awe that what looks to be really shoddy construction techniques but keep working and working. My hat is off to the engineers who have designed systems that have so much tolerance.

I wish I had objective evidence to back me but my guys is I've added 200 pounds to my little TT in upgrades and better materials.

And to answer you question you should have found wires leading all the way.

This is the sad state of affairs these days. If you own most any rv these days you need to be a plummer, electrician , and a mechanic with a decent tool chest if you are traveling, and even an eternal negotiator with the hardheaded bean counters to get something corrected, if some implied warranty is active. Taking these things to most any dealer will require a lot of special drugs that maintains your blood pressure and sometimes your temper.

Not sure what trailer you have but Solar from the roof should go to a Solar Charger (Usually Mounted in the wall) then to the Battery Switch.
Mine had 2 sets of wire coming from the roof, 1 set was from the panels, the next set went back up then down to the area where the Power Panel was and from there to the front of the trailer where the battery disconnect was.

Hope this helps you.
