Routing Solar Wires Through Fridge Vent
Hi all! I am thinking about installing a solar system on my 2012 Jayco X19H. Have been reading a lot in the last few days, and I think that I would like to run the wiring through the Fridge Vent. ...

I have done a lot of cable paths under my floor on my off-road popup trailer using the PVC CONDUIT and ELECTRICAL Conduit boxes. When I need to come up under cabinets inside the POPUP I cut a hole in the bottom of the conduit box...
I actually did a round robin under my floor shown in blue below and have at least 4-5 places where it comes up inside the trailer. The beauty of this is all my cables are now inside PVC conduit and electrical boxes. After I am done then I can mount the conduit box lid and all is out of the way...
This is a typical PVC Conduit box with ports. They come in all sizes with all kinds of port configuration. When I need to get inside the trailer I cur a hole in the middle of the box.

I will probably go with the same more permanent installation for my up coming solar plans for the roof... I like to drill holes in the side of the roof to gain entrance to the inside of the trailer and not on the roof itself... I expect I will be using the ALUMINUM UNISTRUT going across the roof and attached to brackets on the side of the roof where I can drill holes...
Something like this...

I can run another install between my roof mounted air condition and the end of the roof...
I add some PVC Electrical boxes on the side and go through the side to another PVC BOX ion the inside behind the wrap around valance curtains we have that goes around the whole inside of the trailer... Every thing will be in conduit and out of sight...
Hanging flapping wires on the side of the trailer would not be my thing to do...
Of course everyone has different situations..
Just some of my planning here for future solar panels... I am seriously thinking about removing my Air Conditioner and adding a second fantastic fan in the 14-inch hole through the roof. This will free up a lot of room on the roof for solar panels... Since we are off-grid most of the time the Air Conditioner doesn't get used much for us...
