2016 arctic fox 811sb: wires from circuit breaker to tv, how

I’m trying to find a path from circuit breaker under sink up to the cabinets where the tv is. This seems impossible. The wires going through there are completely filling the holes. They take a torturous path up from what I can tell,making it even worse.

Anyone with this model figure out how to get wires between these points? Nothing obvious seems like it comes apart to get access. Thanks

Trying to mount inverter in the upper cabinet to power tv and subwoofer
  • If you are trying to install an inverter it should by installed close to the batteries.
    Since we live so close if you would like me to come take a look I would be willing to do that.

  • I found the same issue with our 990. I removed the sink and very carefully drilled a 1 inch hole next to the original that was full of wires. There are wires all in that wall.
    be careful not to hit anything if you drill.

    I still couldn't get to the hole very well so I poked some string down in the wall and was able, using a vacuum, to suck the string through. I then pull several strings through and pulled the wire I wanted. I still have several of the strings hanging out of the hole under the sink in case I need to pull another wire in the future.

    As far as solar our 990 was pre-wired for solar. Your 811 should be also. The ends of the wires were capped and rolled up in the cavity behind our radio in the kitchen cabinets. The newer AFs I believe should be in the wall behind the sink.
  • Crazy thought. Can I connect the wires for solar to the battery, then pick them up in the wall next to stereo? Not sure how that connects to roof wires. Anyone know how these 3 points are connected?

    Seems I could connect the inverter where the charge controller would normally connect, no?

    Don’t plan to run solar anytime soon but don’t want to screw it up in case I do in futture.
