Wire run from roof to battery bay 97 U320

February 07, 2019, 11:43:10 pm

Need help on how to run a wire from the roof to the battery bay.  In the area where the control box is?  Or through the refer area then where?

I ran a pair of 10 gauge wires through the refer vent, through a piece of 3/4" pvc as a conduit, then drilled a hole near the propane line.  Then down into the cabinet under the refer, there is a false panel in the back of the cabinet I removed for access.  That got the wire into the roof of the basement.  I did have to drill a hole in the bulkhead to get into the battery bay.

Mine goes down refer vent, then in upper channel to the front of the cabinet face, facing forward.
FT's in the past, I ran them down the refer cabinet, then straight down under the refer cabinet, under the sink into the cabinet face by the w/h switch.

Mine go through fridge vent then into coach along under cabinets then down into bays.  You will see a bunch of wires under pull out tray under sink.

Front side of the upper cabinet over the sink. Facing forward by the wall lamp Bob. I can get a better picture if you want. 6" of snow right now.
You can see the black panel in the lower cabinet fascia

I haven't ran any wires yet but I installed 3-3/4 inch pvc conduit on wall behind refrigerator that goes into the vent and on the bottom it goes through the ceiling of basement. So when I do get ready to run wires for solar I won't have to pull refrigerator to run wiring

I ran my 6 gauge wire from the roof through the refrigerator vent down behind the refrigerator then passed the side of the heater which sits under the refrigerator and then down into the bay ( the one with the air pump).  From there it goes to the wire tray in the middle of the coach to the next compartment where the batteries are.  There were holes in all these locations except for the refrigerator vent for wires that had already been run; all I had to do was remove enough caulk to fit the wire.
