I’ve bragged to friends that have installed solar on their rigs and complained about th challenge of getting cables from the roof to the battery area. Grand Design listens and has built in a cable chase from the roof to the basement I told them. See, on my 2020 Solitude 375 RES, there’s a panel on the roof and a sticker in the basement. All I do is pull the panel and take off the sticker! Now I’m embarrassed. Took off the roof plate an a generous 2” or bigger hole is perfect for pulling wires. But looking in I’m unable to see a pass through. So I go into the basement and find the hole there is only 3/4 inch. Deciding it should easily match the hole size on the roof, a handy hole saw makes it easy to see into the wire chase. And my bedroom. And my bathroom. Lesson learned- use a flush trim router bit to cut the hole or some other method to open the hole slowly.
them the part that upsets me. Shining a laser pointer up from the basement the is another hole in the roof that is 3/4 diameter. The best part? It’s 4 inches away from the hole that was placed in the roof. I’ve extended the existing roof access hole and now have an 8 inch opening in the roof to get access.
Very disappointed.
