solar plug wires go.... where??

I have searched the forums but can't find out where the "zamp solar" connection wires go / end up... do they go into the main e-panel or....? I'm getting ready to put 2-100watt panels on the roof of our 2019 Springdale but need to figure out how to best wire them in to the 30A PWM charger controller and then to the batteries (?).

If your installing solar panels on the roof, the wires go to the controller. From the controller they should go to the battery(s).

What is installed currently? Is there a prewire kit where there are roof ports prewired?

IMO you want this all wired close to the batteries...so to a front pass through. If you are in need of the roof ports and all the wiring from the battery->controller->roof wire->roof port I have a the following setup sitting in my garage:

I have the same question mike. Trying to find out where the other end of the factory installed rooftop mc4 connectors end up. Keystone left a total rats nest of wires behind the wall in my pass through on my Impact 343.

I don't have the trailer ('21 290bhs) at home and is stored elsewhere, but I was trying to figure out the same. I have the sae connector on the front of the trailer and the wire connection on the roof that I have no idea where they run. Even the inverter cables when I pop off the cap doesn't seem to have an end and I have tried tugging to see of the end is behind the wall. I think they may be missing battery connection to the inverter. I don't want to hardwire and plan to use a portable box.
