'93 excella solar?

[JULIA NORRIS]

our manual for the 29', '93 excella says we are prewired for solar battery charger, where is the access plug? Or how do we hook into it?

If it's like our '94 Excella, the pre-wire wire just terminates up front near the other wiring. Ours was just a single wire up there with the end wrapped in tape and labeled 'solar pre-wire'.

I assume that somewhere up on the roof, likely near an existing opening, is the other end of that wire where one could connect the feed from a solar panel after punching it through the roof somewhere.

In reality, the wire was too small of a gauge to be useful. It looked to be a 12ga wire at best, and was likely intended only for a small trickle charger type panel, not the larger solar arrays people are installing nowadays.

I just installed four 100w panels on the roof of my 25-ft trailer, and they are connected to the solar charge controller via a pair of 6ga wires. No way the factory wire would have been enough.
