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. ...

Thanks everybody again!
I am still going forth and back on how exactly to do the wiring.
Yeah, that's one of the issues. The fridge vent location is not ideal. I would likely need an ~ 18ft run from controller to the batteries. Ideal would be almost diagonally from the fridge vent, at the right front trailer corner, going straight down into the storage compartment below, install controller there, and then route like 4 or 5 feet (through the floor) to the batteries on the tongue.
But I do not like the idea of having to drill a hole through the rubber roof of my X19H. :?

Whatever you do make the most direct path to the batteries (controller too) that you can. DC power likes short wires of big gauge.
