Bounder: Anyone adding SOLAR to a 34T Bounder?

[AlanTerry]

Looking for info on where you brought the solar wires into the coach from the roof. I have an idea of where just wanted assurance that it could be done.

Thanks

I looked at doing solar last year, but had to back off the plan as had an unexpected repair in the S&B.

My first choice was the wall between the toilet room and the bedroom, and the alternate was going to be the wall behind the shower and the TV.

We have a Bounder 34J.

We ran the Solar Panel cables through the Air Con units. Followed the wires and ran them behind the roof trim down Rv.

Remove plastic shrouds on Air Con units, take off the metal covers from front of units, access from there. Remember to retape the metal covers back on.

In the bed room. The swing out tv area the hollow wall between the closet and the TV electronic area. Down below the chest of drawers then to the battery area.
This is better than running down the by the vent pipe due to access.

I would like to see pictures of how you ran down the air conditioning.

Ran ours down the refrigerator vent, and tied into the wiring from the converter, which is under the refrigerator, and feeds to the batteries under the steps. This was the shortest and easiest run for the solar wiring to get to the battery system wires.

Thanks for your suggestion but this is a Residential Refrigerator that does not have the roof accessible vent your coach has.

Over the holidays, I installed 3 100 watt panels and found there was no easy cable routing thru the roof. So I drilled a 1 inch hole thru the roof into a floor to ceiling cabinet attached to the bathroom wall. I used a Renogy Cable Entry Housing to cover the new hole.

I made a couple of videos about my panel selection and installation with parts list and links in the descriptions

Thanks Lakeracer for taking the time to do videos of your solar installation.

May want to look at the project I did a few years ago on a 2016 Bounder
