2017 Hideout entertainment wall

[hxckidd]

Curious if anyone has wired solar down through the central entertainment area. Seems like the curved portion is hollow but i cant for the life of me find any good way to gain access or pull off the panels.

Any insight for access would be great.

Thanks, i will add that in a sec.

The model is 2017 Keystone Hideout 26LHSWE

just picked it up a few weeks ago and am working on doing some upgrades for solar, ATS, inverter, dual batteries.

You might look on the roof for the antenna for the tv and may be able to route the wiring for your solar down through under the antenna mount if it is close to the entertainment center. Sorry, I don't have solar so not sure how others have run their wires down. Some other folks who have solar will chime in, I'm sure. Good luck!

while my question pertains to solar, I am okay drilling through rough and or possibly using existing areas on the roof so I don't have to drill.

I guess I am looking for more guidance if anyone has run any sort of wires through this wall where the sales guy is standing. I am having a hard time figuring out if it's hollow on the rounded corners, and if there is a way to pop that piece off so I can use it to hide the wires.

My other method would be to drill into the closet and run wires through there to my front hatch. I did this on my last trailer, but I prefer the idea of going through the entertainment area.

Ps thanks for the help so far.

Depending on placement of the controller and space on the roof, you may want to route the cables down the fridge cabinet. Just take the vent lid off and you can run the wires down the corner, and then to the controller. If you do drill through the refer cabinet just be sure to seal the hole where the wires go through.
