Adding solar to a 2005 T139. Found unconnected wires?

[corleykj]

I am in the process of adding a 100 watt solar panel and controller. I opened up the access to the shower wall (because hat is where I plan to route my wires and controller) and found a handful of wires not connected to anything. Any ideas what these could be to?
Thanks.

"Wires to nowhere". Have no clue but perhaps others with your model may have some incite. Anyway, what kind of solar setup are you installing?

I went with the windynation 100 watt panel and controller. About $185 on Amazon to get the controller I heard good things about.

I haven't seen that access panel on ours. Our shower valve backs up to the refrigerator.
Be careful if you're on shore power.
From my experience with RV wiring, some of those may actually be hot......

I will put a multimeter on them the next time I open it up. Thanks for the warning!

That's a LOT OF WIRES!! I haven't found any unattached wires (well, I haven't actually looked), but when we had our bearings replaced (previous lousy repair shop put no grease on the bearings, so 10k miles later ... . almost lost an axle) anyway, I digress, when the guy was working on the wheels, he found that only one set of brakes was connected. oops . . . . I feel like I should go over this trailer with a fine-tooth comb. Love the design, but the build leaves a lot to be desired, 3 of our 5 windows leaked and I had to remove & remount them. Still LOVE the camper though.

'My guess' is the same wiring harness is used for multiple trailers and without all the options, etc. those unused are clipped off. You will find the same thing with vehicles when not all options are installed, wires capped off/unfilled fuse holder slots, etc.
