When my 06 Endeavor was delivered they failed to install the controller for the roof solar panel. When I mentioned this during some factory service they installed the controller and connected it to the house batteries. Now I am wondering if it should be connected to the chassis batteries. Can someone with a factory installed Solar panel let me know which batteries it is connected to?
Thanks and Happy New Year

Hi Dave -

Not having a solar panel (yet!), I'd think we would be using the coach batteries a lot more while parked than the chassis battery, so it would make sense to me to keep them topped-off instead of the chassis.

But then, it's been a long time since I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express, too (althought I do have a Holiday Rambler, does that count?), so I may have no idea from whence I speak.

Ron

According to my manual for an 07, it sez the solar panel is connected to the house batteries only.
