DIY Solar Panel Wiring - Roadtrek Simplicity

[grondeau]

I've got a nice DIY solar panel on my 2018 Simplicity Roadtrek - and a simple solar charging controller -- all works fine -- EXCEPT... Until now I have had to run the wires outside the van because I just could not find a way to get them from the roof to the battery region in any elegant way. I was looking at going through the AC hole, but my fishing expedition was a failure.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Gary

I ran the solar panel wires through a thru-hull fitting that is watertight. They are available at marine supply stores. I put it on the vertical part of the roof at the rear of the truck, and ran the wires to the controller mounted on the cabin wall.

Thanks Tom,
I used the vent pipe as the feed through. Saved poking another hole in the shell... Worked fine.
