    Roof Question

    2018 Solitude (we ordered) was delivered to the dealer on Friday.

    I did a preliminary inspection and noticed something odd on the roof (driver side) near the front AC over the front bedroom.
    There is a 'flat black panel' surrounded by self leveling compound.
    It is not a vent or component I recognize.

    Ideas?
    For those that can see pics, I'll attempt to insert a picture.

    GD started installing a wire chase to the basement so you can run solar panel/satellite wires, I don't think the Reflections have this

    Thx a bunch.
    Good to know.
    I suspected it was inline with the wall and lower basement compartment.

    another idea that was submitted by owners on this forum that GD incorporated in the design, not sure why Reflection was not included.

    since it was a nice day I thought I would spend an hour taking off the metal panel on the roof and pull my wires in for the solar panel. Well after 4 hours I gave up, THERE IS NO access to the chase. The hole on the roof is 4" off based on measurements from the hole in the basement but you can't see. Basically someone at the factory can't use a tape measure so the chase is useless to me. Put the roof panel back on and resealed it.
