Noticed two purplish marks on the front of the my Grandby canvas, driver side just begins the strut last week. Peeked behind the front panel with roof dropped half way and saw burned marks. Cursory look at the wiring front the solar panels but due to confined space, couldn’t tell if the wires were burned or frayed.
I contacted 4WC and Stan and the service dept. suggested that my 280 watts in the roof may be too much for the 10 gauge stock wiring, and I shouldn’t go over 160 watts that the Grandby came with.
I have read here many campers have much more higher wattage panels on the roof and I never heard that over 160 watts may be a fire hazard.
Has anyone else had this problem and what I can do to repair the burn marks? Now if only I can figure out how to post some pics…
