Question about a bundle of wires

Hi Gang,

Have a 2009 Tango Travel Trailer, 311BHSS model. Owned it since 2010. Just replaced the 12 volt battery with a pair of 6 volts and noticed a bundle of wires that are taped up near the battery box. They are not connected to the battery, and have no terminals on them, just cut clean off on the end. They are 14 gauge wires, one red, one white. Looks like this was bundled up at the factory like that.

I follow the wires and they go into the front left corner of the floor. Can't see past that.

Any ideas of what they are for?

thanks a bunch, I tried google / search but must not be using the correct terms.

    I thought that, but the battery does charge when we are plugged into power.

    If they are 14GA then they are not for any kind of heavy current, only light electrical loads.

    There is a breakaway switch in place separately.

    I think it is prewire for an option not installed.
    Solar or tank heaters is all I can imagine.

    Really need to find the other end.

    10-4, I suppose if I checked it with a voltmeter and had battery voltage, that would be another clue and perhaps would think it was for solar hookup.
