As far as I know it is a Furian recepticle that is wired directly to your battery/batteries. No regulator etc, I think it is a sales gimmic more than anything else. It was a cheap way for Keystone to include solar ready in their sales pamphlet. There is no wires etc up in the roof rafters for future panels. If you buy a panel with the correct plug you could set it up and plug it in. The recepticle is located in the top part of convenience panel along with the water valveing controles.
Do a search about solar and there is some good information available.

Guarantee you that any wiring that's been installed is too small to be useful. Why Keystone thinks doing something like this is a benefit to someone wanting to install a solar system is beyond me. I'd completely ignore it (save maybe using the holes for better stuff) and design something that will meet your needs.

Hi Daniels,

The wire goes from convenience center to battery. There is a 10 amp fuse on the wire located near the battery, see picture



As was said, it is a gimmick. See my March blog on my tag line, I have Solar install on 2015 Montana 3611RL.
