What ever the OP does make sure to get approval from Roadtrek, any unauthorized changes to the electrical system will void that part of the warranty.
Even an authorized dealer has to get authorization from the factory.
Respectfully, this is just not true, at least in the United States. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act makes it illegal to void any part of a manufacturer's warranty merely because the owner makes aftermarket modifications or uses third-party parts. A claim may only be denied if the third-party modification can be demonstrated to have CAUSED the failure leading to a warranty claim. Moreover it is the manunfacturer's burden to prove such causation, and the standard is high.
The Web is full of claims about various actions "voiding warranties". Almost all of them are nonsense.
I would also check to see if Rt doesn't state in writing somewhere that altering the elec. could void the warranty. Some of their stuff is proprietary and altering it may also void the warranty if the alteration is found to cause the damage.
Like Gerry said, why not just get approval from Roadtrek?
Its your RV so you can do what you want, and you can just ignore my posts.
I should have edited my other post to have said, will void the warranty if the alterations are found to have caused the problem.
Rt takes these thing seriously, and I doubt they will just fix and pay for something they feel was caused my the owner.
