  • New 2020 260RD Solar

    I see the new 260RD has solar prep on the roof. I'm assuming it uses 10awg wire for the run. Where would the controller go? Is it located in the pass-through storage, or inside the rig somewhere? We are purchasing a new 260RD this weekend and I have a couple panels I would like to install. Also, Is there a particular controller Grand Design had in mind when spec'ing this system?

    Thanks,

    If it's like the Solitude and Momentum, it's just a chase. You'll have to provide your own wiring and run it to where you want.

      If that's true, then it's quite interesting. I can't understand why they would put the solar connection box on the roof if they weren't going to run the cable.

      Thanks for the response.

        Because there are too many options to what you would want for wire size, etc. It's all based on the size system you want, how you want to design it, and so on and so on. Too many variable to make a cookie cutter setup.

          It's because for years many of us with solar pleaded with GD to add a chase from the roof to the basement and they finally complied. They have no idea what you might run through it.
