Savoy 2007 Installing Solar Panels

[Dirtsailor]

The Holiday Rambler Savoy 2007 owners Manual states the RV is pre-wired for solar or after market these wire can be accessed.
Question: Can anyone tell me where these wires are located?
Question: If you have installed solar, where did you located the panels on the roof?
Any and all help is appreciated.

Ditto.

Panels out in the sun, sitting on the ground can be a challenge to deal with.

I would think you want the TT in the shade and the panels in the sun.

The wiring could be near a ceiling vent. if you remove the vent facia, you might be able to look around up there to see if there are wires loose and tagged.

In some cases the mfg adds in a light gauge of wire and calls it "prewired". If it was me, I'd forgo the search and just install the proper wire for whatever amount of solar is used.

Often in the fridge vent.

Panels ought to be installed where nothing on the roof casts shade on them.

You can find all kinds of solar posts in Tech Issues.
