    Furrion solar connection fuse?

    Imagine 2600RB. Where is the Furrion solar connection fuse located? I suppose it is behind the wall in the through compartment and therefore unable to check if in working order or the right size fuse. Not good planning.

    Hopefully Janice will reply here but in the mean time... those things are wired directly to the battery so the in-line fuse should be visible either right behind the plug on the opposite side of the wall or near the battery.

    No fuse near batteries other than for electric tongue jack. The space behind the exterior Furrion plug is behind a wood panel that is nailed all the way around the through compartment frame; no access without tearing into the paneling. Would rather not, poor planning, no access to in-line fuse.

    I never did find a fuse for mine. Even battery disconnect didn't shut it down. I wound up fishing wires up to center clearance light

    If you look up Furrion Solar power port on youtube there is a guy there that has a lot of information about this port. Mainly about a connector you can plug in so you don't have to purchase from Furrion. I bought 2 on eBay, 10.00 each and I just wired it yesterday to a small 7watt panel from Northern Tool to just maintain my battery. His GD had a 7.5 amp fuse in the basement of his 5th wheel, but I didn't see one either. I did pull the port out to see which was positive. (Bottom red wire ) but I didn't continue pulling out the wire to see if it had a fuse. Hope this helps.

    I just checked with the guys in service, there should be an inline fuse on the red wire before you get to the battery connection end of the wire.

    I cut out the Furrion solar connector and installed a 12V power port (cigarette lighter). I have a Green Mountain pellet smoker that goes camping sometimes that needs 12V. There is an inline fuse just before the battery.
