New Isata 5 30FW Questions for BC
Hi BC, picked up my new magnetic 30FW on Saturday.
I recall reading about the PP display having issues getting moisture in the wet bay. I found mine not installed but laying circuit board down on a metal 4 square box under the closet and drawers in the bedroom. Is this the solution?
In addition, I special ordered a third solar panel and it did not get installed. A little upsetting. I want to make sure Anthem RV installs the right one and does not damage the roof. Can someone advise them on this? Vin#270482 - See pics.
Thanks,
Jay

1. Yes. That is the solution. We MUST have that controller to get the analog signals converted to digital. They make it WITH the display and WITHOUT. But, to get the one WITHOUT the display, we have to change the connections on our harness. So, the quickest change (since that data is on the app) is to move that part away from moisture and then when we can get the harness updated, convert to the non-display model.
2. Unfortunately that extra panel did not make it to our order. If you look at your MSRP, the extra panel is not on there so it was not ordered from us. So what could have happened is that a dealer had an order in the system and matched yours up to it to get it quicker. Looks like they may have missed that option. On the bright side...we use flex panels. So the install is just VHB tape and then seal the edges, so there is nothing they can really damage. Also, we use plug and play Y-connectors. So they can just order another set and the panel, should be easy for them to correct.

Thanks for the quick reply on a Holiday, I have an appt with my dealer tomorrow.
In regards to the PP display, I added protection to the circuit board so that it does not short out on the electrical box.
In regards to the 3rd solar panel, my dealer noted that they did order it since they had to get pricing for the option from you guys. ($610) I did not get a copy of the MSRP from Anthem, though. I will be asking for a copy tomorrow. Thanks again.

Not sure what to say, we can quote things, but unfortunately it doesn't mean they follow up with a confirmed order. I looked for a change order to see if we missed it, but I did not see one.
I guess regardless, the dealer did not pay for an extra panel. MSRP attached.

Thanks BC, appreciate it!
I should have known, they didn't even bother checking the roof for the 3rd panel, I had to ask. Glad to have a copy of the MSRP. Everything else is included properly. This Magnetic I5 is pulling in lots of attention.
Best,
Jay

Jay,
This is what I did with mine after replacing the panel in the wet bay 3 times...

Please post a picture of what “Magnetic” paint job looks like. Your option list is exactly how I would order mine when we decide to upgrade from the Isata 3.

Warning, Magnetic gets a lot of attention. Cheers, Jay.

Great color combo, very smooth. We need a thread with just all the custom paint jobs. There have been a number of them.
Just insane how accommodating Dynamax is on making RV’s personalized for their customers.

That one is not actually custom...it was sort of, but we liked it, so it is now stock.

Just a new color or did it replace one in the lineup? Very similar to Granite?

New color. Granite is still there. Without the black/gray contrast it is a little more subtle.
Almost all of my vehicles have been silver, not sure why I didn't do this color sooner.
And now, silver ranks as the #1 car color sold at 23%, then white, then black.
