    390RK Solitude: Routing DC to DC cables

    I apologize if I am submitting this endeavor in the wrong thread but it is specific to my 2021 Solitude 390RK. I am installing a DC to DC charger at my lithium battery bank in the front compartment and trying to avoid running or attaching any cables from the king pin box to the front compartment on the outside of my rig. If anyone browsing has found a way to route cables thru the king pin box to the inside of the front compartment without drilling or cutting holes please let me know. The pickup side is done so my question is specific to the RV. Please share photos or advice on how you accomplished the task.

    Thank you

    Actually, it is very easy to run wires from the king pin into the front compartment. Just remove the few (4, 6?) screws on the bottom of the overhang. Let the fiberglass droop (not drop) down. Use a fish tape or other semi ridge rod and push it from just behind the king pin into the front compartment. Use wire loom or other means of chafe protection around the wires. Reinstall the screws removed earlier. Took me 5 min on our Solitude 310GK.

    Chris,

    Thank you for the great advice, I was sick thinking about drilling or cutting the exterior of our RV. You are very much appreciated.
