    Fishing control wires from the forward compartment on Reflection 150 series

    Has anyone successfully brought up control wires from the forward compartment on a Reflection 150 series? I have control wires for my inverter and battery monitor that I'd like to bring up, probably somewhere in the bedroom or closet (both of the monitor/control cables are under 20 feet so bringing them back to the control panel won't work). All ears for any ideas.

    OK, so a bit more information. My batteries and my inverter are going in the front compartment. I can see how to get from there into the pass-through, I'm less clear on how I'd get up to the bedroom.

    Here's one possible location for mounting the battery monitor and inverter control (bedroom between closet and sliding door above the light switch):

    And here's another location (closet wall):

    There's a heating vent on the floor of the bedroom, would running something along side of that make sense?

    Why not go from the battery compartment to the basement, then up through the floor in bath cabinet then poke through the bedroom wall?

    How would one get "through the floor in bath cabinet?"

    I looked at the ceiling of the basement on the 260 and it looks like the forward wall has a drain pipe. If that is a bath sink drain it will go into the bath cabinet. Alternately i see the wardrobe is adjacent to the sink so you can go through the ceiling there as well.

    If that is a black tank drain from the toilet, you will see the gray tank drain in the generator compartment. Ie, go through that ceiling to get into the bath sink cabinet or the wardrobe.

    Thanks @bjlakatos, that's good advice. I'll look for the pipes.

    All my DC and control wires start in the passthrough and most go up beside a vent pipe. Fishing through all those is a challenge, made simpler by removing a light switch part way up.

    PS fish a pull string with your wires, for the next time!
