Hot Off The Batteries

[Enaud]

I have a 2020 Montana High Country 295RL that I am upgrading the electrical system throwing in a bunch of Victron stuff. Question is when I removed the old batteries they were 3 or 4 fused wires that were hot off the batteries. Does anyone know what those wires power. I didn't mess with it much when I started taking apart and now it's too cold to mess with. Thanks

Montana usually doesn't have fused wires off of the positive side of the battery. They usually run a cable to a 50 amp self resetting circuit breaker (CB), Then the fused wires come off the Bat side of the CB and off to wherever.

Separately fused wires include the old style electric landing jacks , propane detector. power to the Level Up remote brain, and more which I forget.

The BAT side also jumper to the second CB which feeds the fuse panel in the RV and the hydraulic pump.
Did you take a picture before you disconnected everything? Posting it here will help identify what you are referring to.

You bought used I'm guessing. Most likely add ons, My 2022 295 has nothing fused wired to the batteries. Just a main to the giggy box and the inverter disconnect. Got a picture?
