Do any of you good funsters know where the solar controller is located on my 2024 Autotrail Expedition 68?

Also, does anyone know where I can get hold of a wiring diagram?
 
There is an on/off switch in a cupboard up high in the living compartment.
 
Does it have a Sargent unit / Power supply ??? On some models it is built in..
 
Thanks. Found the switch.

Yes, it is the Sargent EC362.

Hi,

Fellow new Expedition 68 owner here. The wiring diagram in the handbook suggests the solar controller is separate, but I too would like to know where it is situated. I too have found the switch in the compartment.

Found it. The solar controller is under the floor of the high-level storage unit in which the solar switch is located. Two screws undone and you are in.

Thanks Pete.

Not followed up on this for a while but I will be back on it. Any chance you could be a bit more specific as to where the two screws actually are? Are they under those round stikers?

Found it. Two screws and a panel removed. Easy job to disconnect the solar controller and wire it directly into my NDS Power Service Gold Charger. I have also installed my battery master. That completes most of my power upgrades. Just need a lithium battery upgrade now.

Hi Peter, any chances of a picture of the panel you removed to view the controller?
