looking for solar panel wires Eagle Cap 1165

Help! I'm looking for the other end of the solar panel wires on a 2018 Eagle Cap 1165. The roof end was easy, but I have't found the other end. I've searched the basement, and under the bathroom sink. How do I identify them? Is it a black and a red 10 gauge with cut off ends? Or are they connected to a terminal block? There is a ton of wire in the basement that I don't know what they all do. Please help if you can, thanks, Joel

  • So how long is that 10 gauge and how many amps are you potentially running through it?
  • Thanks, I just found it. It was just a cut off wire with a peice of yellow tape on it
  • How nice of your manufacturer to wire your RV with 10 gauge wire from the roof to your controller! 10 amps and 9.5 feet! Or you start losing big time. And 10 amps isn’t that much. Cheapos!

  • Mine were #10 coiled up with tape on them in the basement near the batteries.
