Have to pull fridge for solar wiring?

[Lins]

We're looking at installing 2 100W of solar panels and like the idea of using the fridge vent instead of drilling holes in the roof. I'm curious though, do you generally have to pull the fridge to run the wires or does it depend on each trailer setup?

Thanks in advance

You can run the wires without pulling the frig by placing a weight on the wire and fishing it down through the chimney it can be fastened at the top and bottom.

Thanks, good to know.

Take off the fridge vent cap and the side access panel, drill a couple holes through the top vent and fish the wires down the back... Pretty easy, and no need to remove the fridge. When you re-install the top cap use a little proflex to seal of the screw heads (which are recessed) or you could end up with water dripping down through the vent.

I slide my refridge a foot or so to access the space between walls and chimney and I also enclosed my cable in seal tight, I was concerned about the closeness of the chimney and cable, probably over engineered it.

Thanks for the replies. Just got the trailer out of storage this weekend and looks like it should be pretty easy, just need to wait for some of the supplies to show up.
