    Attention New Momentum and Solitude Owners

    https://www.mygrandrv.com/fo...lite-and-SolarThis subject was started by fellow member cpd1343 and Missy at Customer Support with Grand Design and I am taking it a step forward. I want credit to go to where credit is due. You can check that thread out at > Manufacture Corner > Tech Corner > Wired For Roof And Solar.

    According to Missy all Momentum and Solitudes manufactured after May of 2017 have an "access panel" locate on the roof allowing wiring for satellite and solar to be pass through the roof and into the unit. I decided to check this out for future use. The pictures are from my 2018 Momentum 376TH. Now you will know what you are looking for in your particular model.

    The access panel on the 376TH is located just in front of the King Jack antenna and just behind the curb side sofa slide in the front living area. Inside there is a "false beam" panel that runs from the ceiling, down the wall, into the floor located in the living area past the steps It is approximately 3" x 6" by 6 foot. All of the wiring is running from the attic area down into the basement area behind the steps by the hutch were all of the electronics are hidden. On the your particular model I would think that you need to locate this "false beam" which should be obvious (except that I pass by it every time and never thought that it was hiding all of this wiring).

    I plan to add a roof satellite and this will make life easier. It will make adding roof solar unit easier too.

    That's fantastic!

    They could have done a better job on that ceiling opening though. Looks like someone bashed it in with a hammer.

    You see that in residential and commercial construction - it's not uncommon. It's what I would have expected.

    I agree. This is something that is long overdue and should be made available to a lot more models.

    I was at the factory for a tour today and brought this up and our guide didn't know anything about this. He was fairly new giving tours but I looked a several new M 351 on the line and didn't see any chase. I am picking up a new one October 11th and hopefully it has the chase. I plan on doing roof panels and lithium battery's and the chase sure would be helpful
