We have RV’d for many years. We recently purchased a really good 2000 Citation 26RLS, and it comes pre wired for solar. I have found the #10 wires in the battery compartment but have not found how they are run down to there? They should be in the wall by the thermostat but I have not found them. Anyone know where they run?

Thanks
 
Greg, welcome to the RV Forum. We have several members who are familiar with solar. I'm sure they will chime in.

BTW, where are you located and do you already have your solar panel and connections?

Yes I have 300 watts of solar and a blue sky controller

I have installed these before but need to know if the wires are anywhere around the thermostat before cutting the wall
 
Tic Tic wire tracers aren't too expensive (I have 1 in each tool bag). I use the phone tool on power when it's shut off, and I don't think DC from a solar panel would hurt it.

Sometimes wires are run up through the refrigerator vent.

Have you searched the roof area to see if you can find that end of the wiring? Check under the fridge roof vent, the a/c covers, and the tv antenna. All places where there is already a tunnel through the roof.,

Thank you. On my last one they came through the refrigerator stack. I have not taken that cover off yet. I was hoping to find it inside first, but I have ordered a buzz tool.
