Solar prep?

Took possession of my 21 Fuzion yesterday and dropped the ball. Forgot about solar prep. I see no sticker on inside where the wire for the panel would be located? I thought I saw the Jaboni sticker on hall wall when shopping but it may have been in another trailer.

It’s a 2021 419 and should have solar prep correct?

From what I can see it should have “solar flex 200”. You need to check the build sheet for your specific unit to see what was installed.

Thanks for reply. I know they started installing complete systems for 2022 model year. How do I get access to the build sheet you speak of?
Thanks in advance

Your selling dealer might have it, Keystone will have it, you will need the VIN.

What you're looking for is a 8x11 single sheet, probably yellow.

There may be a build sheet copy stuck in the owner's packet. Some dealerships provide it for the buyer, some keep both of their copies in their files. At Keystone, it's a 4 part "carbonless" document. The white original stays at Keystone, the yellow and red go to the dealership and the blue copy, I believe, goes to the "federal regulators"....

Here's a copy of our Springdale build sheet from 2011. Our copy was yellow and in the owner's packet. They may have updated the process by using a computer generated build sheet, but somehow, at Keystone, I can't help but believe "If the old system works, don't ever improve on it"... LOL

It will have solar prep for sure, but may or may not have an pre installed system. Depends on when in 21 it was manufactured. Do you have any pictures of where your prep stickers should have been?

I saw a video of the Jaboni system prep package on 2019 models and was hoping to find one on mine but have yet to locate wires in battery compartment for it. Thought the panel sticker would be near in command unit

Thank you. That will help immensely!
The unit I have has a residential fridge and therefore already has a 2000 watt pure sine wave inverter on board. Just want enough solar to keep batteries topped off when no shore power is available. Have an Onan on board also for cloudy days or the need for AC.

Wonderful, your install will be easy. Solar wires are behind the wall in the basement storage. I’d suggest sticking with jaboni for ease of install. Your only issue might be the remote for the charge controller. As the mppt remotes don’t match the prewired stuff. As you can see the wire comes out the bottom making a clean install difficult.
