Hey, I just got my 2020 315 RLTS and noticed on the younger a bundle of red wire, is this for the solar hook up? My salesman said that because my “solar pre-wire” is on the roof, this wire is to hook the panels into the battery? Can’t get a good answer....thx

He's got a "Solar 101" presentation in this thread if you're interested: https://gdrvowners.com/forum/solar/2...rally#post2924

Hi there. If you can post a photo of the wires, I can let you know what you're seeing. But whatever you do, they should not be "hooked to the battery". Solar wires from the roof would have to be hooked into a solar controller and then wires run from the controller to the battery. If you hooked the panels directly to the battery, you'd cook the battery and destroy it in a very short time.
