Wiring diagram

Blazer

I recently purchased a new Tab400BD, it's my first travel trailer and I am finding the electrical system a bit confusing.  I have some experience with electric, but new to solar.  Does anyone know of a wiring diagram for the solar/electric/batteries and other components?  I think being able to visualize the system could be helpful to me.  Thanks!

@Blazer, I also like diagrams, but I'm pretty sure no such comprehensive schematic exists for the 400 as of yet.

You might find some of the resources here useful, at least in a general sense. There's a very basic digram for the 400 and a detailed schematic of a 2016 320 created by  member. I suspect the basic wiring of the 400 doesn't differ all that much from the 320.

As far as the solar wiring goes, it is very simple.  Find your solar controller: two lines in from the solar panel, two wires out to the battery.  Each model, though, has a different path for the solar cables from the roof to travel. 

There are lots of posts on electrical wiring over the years, and there seem to be just a few main items.  Here is a Google image search of the Forums for "Tab Wiring" that might start you in the right direction.  Several owners have drawn up some diagrams or taken photos on how everything is connected.  There may be small differences over the years, but I bet the basic parts are all the same.

This thread has some relevant diagrams during a discussion of the wiring for the breakaway switch.
