RE: 2008 komfort trailer solar pre-wire help please
This is the very reason for buying local, it might cost a little more but goodness isn't local service worth something, or in this case a lot. Some times it cost a lot to save a few bucks.
For me, it would be impossible to buy local. I wanted a Komfort and that was the closest dealer. I simply couldn't find anything else that had the floor plan I wanted and of the same quality.

2008 komfort trailer solar pre-wire help please
i recently got our 2008 256ts komfort travel trailer and had the dealer install a solar panel. to my surprise, a couple weeks later, the batteries were both dead. dead, dead, dead. The dealer is 7 hours (each way) from where I live, so taking the trailer for them to check out isn't exactly an easy option for me. I talked to them on the phone and they are basically useless and dumb as dirt. The komfort books make no mention of the pre-wiring.
I know how to use a meter properly (i do electrical work for a living) and was able to determine that at the batteries, the solar wires had no current or volts. They are dead. However, up at the solar panel itself, it has voltage/current. The panels work, but the wires to the battery are open circuit.
I wonder if there's a disconnect or a missing fuse somewhere? I have searched everywhere and I can't figure out what is going on. Does anybody know how the wires are routed or if there's a required disconnect or fuses or if some wires need landed inside the trailer to use the pre-wiring?
All that I can tell is the wires on top go down through the fridge vent and disappear straight down. On the battery side, they go about 3' and then go into the hidden area under the trailer into no man's land. No clue where they go without ripping everything out of the trailer. I opened up the breaker/fuse panel and don't see any trace of the wires. I was TOLD they go directly to the battery... this seems to be untrue, obviously. If they thought they went direct, maybe they missed something that needs landed or something.
Thanks,
Jeff
