Solar panel install

I want to install solar panels on 2011 Monaco Monarch 33sfs and I want to know if the coach is prewired.

Doubtful that it is. Even if it is I am not a big fan of factory solar prewire. Depending on your design - Often not large enough, not enough pairs, not routed as desired, etc.

it's simple to find a route from roof the control location to batteries, and as just said the pre=wires are usually not the right wires
