2021 315RLTS One Control main board location

[howson]

I really like the remote for slides as I walk around the outside of the unit while extending looking, listening, and verifying everything is working properly.

For the stabilizers I am like you, I want to see what's going on there. Not familiar with the ones you are mentioning, are they the arm that lowers? Are they only a front / rear control setup vs individual corners? I had the scissor style on my TT and they were 100% manual, impact driver to run them to the ground, then hand crank after that.

howson I wonder if the second board is being used to control the Awnings? It appears to only have 2 outputs hooked up if you look in the first photo.

No, I know it's the stabilizers. The awnings are on the LC REV OUT connection of the 1.5 board. The 1.5 also has configurable inputs and the awnings have remote switches as well.

I *think* the X0 was added because there's not enough connections on the 1.5 board to allow for both remote control and discrete switches for everything including the PSX1 stabilizers. Again, not sure the "juice is worth the squeeze" in this case. Discrete switches on the stabilizers (for me) is sufficient. Obviously GD disagrees.

Shiny side up -- thank you! The X0 is new to me.

Looks like the purpose of the X0 is to remotely power the PSX1 stabilizers (assuming yours has the same stabilizers as my '19).

This is an Interesting decision by GD to include the stabilizers in the CompassConnect configuration. IMHO I'm not sure the cost is worth the result. The external buttons on my camper work fine, and I suspect they are still there since there are Configurable Inputs (manual control inputs) on the X0 board.. (The pic in post #10 shows wires connected to the Configurable Inputs connection on the X0.)

The reason for my .02 is IMO the person activating the stabilizers must have an eye on them during deployment (or retraction) so again, not sure what the benefit is of remote control.

Thanks again for posting the pictures.

Any questions on the 315--fire away. As you probably know already I've got dozens of threads related to mods I've done on my trailer.

Not sure what they are called, but this is them up close.

Shiny side up -- if that panel is still off, what's the model #'s of those boards? I expected to see a Unity 1.5, so not sure what the second board is.

[howson]

Howard, you set me on the right path. The CANBUS cable led into the wall between the passthru and the bedroom . I found some screws in the black carpet facing in the passthrough and the boards were right there. All good, thank you for the help

Awesome! Thanks for the follow-up and picture.

howson Howard, we should start a pool on finding these things. It seems they put them where is the least convenient for owner, but most convenient for builders. All of the wiring for both the control panel and the controlled items need to meet at the controller, so closer to the convenience center seems to be the most common place. If they ever build a can bus convenience center we will all be guessing because that means small wires (2 pair max like phone or ethernet cable is my guess) and they can pull that stuff anywhere quickly and easily.

Shiny side up someone posted they found the controller on top of the hutch, but in your case it appears to go to the ceiling. Can you see the space above the converter / distribution panel. That looks like a good location to hide it in the small image available on the website.

That's a good thought. The front panel of the hutch comes off with about 8 screws, revealing the furnace, WFCO, and back of the Power Distribution Center. (Be careful in there, Shiny side up ! Don't crush any heater ducts or crimp wires)

This is what mine (used) to look like. The black box at the bottom is a Progressive Dynamics EMS.

Looked again and coming up empty. Here is the Convenience Center.

That's what I expected--good!

Another strategy is to follow the CANBUS wire from the Schintek controller (ceiling of passthru, street side) back to the Unity. At least it should point you in the general direction. The second CANBUS connection on the Schwintek controller has a terminating resistor, right? (Looks like a plug /cap.)

Thanks for the suggestions. Looked again and coming up empty. Here is the Convenience Center.

Shiny side up -- the sketch I have is rough, but the Unity 1.5 board appears to be on the curb side of the trailer, forward of the Convenience panel. Might even be in the bedroom or closet, curb side. The wall between the passthru and bedroom is hollow--is there anything that looks like an access panel when looking in from the curb side?

Also, can you please take a picture of the Convenience Center panel and post it here?

Thanks!
