As an aside, I had the same situation with the Dealer batteries - no discount for not taking them. I put them on Craigslist and they were gone within the hour... an extra $100 in my pocket.

In regards removing the command center and gaining access to the wire channel.
The small area behind the panel, if you go in from the cabinet side there are a couple screws that hold the panel on between the command center and the cabinet area. Remove the screws and remove the panel allows a lot more room to pull wires from the basement. I found this recently doing my setup and wish I found it earlier as it made it a lot easier to pull the wires. I second pulling an extra string as I did this on the previous mod and used the second string, and yes also pulled another string to leave in place.

Eventually I'll probably end up getting a few more panels and changing controllers to Victron so I can have them all interface, but I've thrown a lot at this new rig already. We have to save some thing to do down the road!
I got up on the roof and confirmed my layout. I have brackets all installed and getting ready to mount the new panels (probably tomorrow if I'm lucky). The 165w furrion panel I have uses the ridiculous furrion proprietary connectors coming through the roof flange, which is frustrating. As a solution I left the furrion flange and connectors in place, then just snipped the lines a few inches down and terminated some new MC4 connections into the line allowing me to use a common connector but the stock lines and roof flange. When I eventually add more panels I'll end up having to run new wires down and will change this flange out for a better combiner box but for now this will have to do.

I got my panels mounted yesterday and expect to get the wires all connected up in the next couple days. I'll add more pics when I am up on the roof to wire the panels.David and Deana

TheMcLellans -- bare wires are attached to the bottom of the Jaboni Solar Roof Gland (similar to the Furrion but with MC4 connectors). Pic below is the underside of the Furrion but it should give you an idea of what you'd find with the Jaboni.

WondersAwait, very nicely done, especially for your first one! I did 3 trailers before I did the one I loved.
My question is a little off topic, but can you tell me how you did your diagram of the system? I would love to do a nice diagram of mine. I suspect it's maybe an app?Paul and Deb Cervone
