Gaselec Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Hello motorhome lovers, ("No he didn't mean it in that context George") (lol) I would be very grateful if anyone can give me information as to where it would be best to connect a Falcon portable100W solar panel with a solar system controller into an Auto cruise Star dream. The vehicle has a management system with Modules A & B fitted by the driver's seat, and a control panel by the habitation door which already has a solar panel push button fitted, and when pressed indicates no solar panel fitted. I intend to hard wire all the internal connections and then secure the supplied two way connector with protective waterproof ingress cover in a safe and external accessible position for plugging in the solar panel. Any additional wiring if at all needed to the solar panel push button switch will present no problem for me. including the two separate aux batteries which are fitted beneath a lift up floor cover.

gocro Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 All the wiring is already there. In the cupboard where the TV aerial is there is a false wall panel to the left undo the four wood screws and behind you will find the wiring. The management system needs enabling for the panel to work with the system. I've got the instructions on my laptop somewhere PM me. Found it!

bobbyg Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Just wondered if you could help us with the last part of connecting our solar panel. We have an auto cruise star blazer 2009 Multijet. We have fitted the panel and control board and routed the wires into the TV cupboard. We already have wires connected in the TV cupboard but are not sure if we can piggyback the connections for the solar panel to them and if so which one is positive. We currently have and orange and white connected to a white wire and a solid grey connected to black so we assume the orange and white is positive. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Andy Johnston Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Hi all does anybody have the instruction for enabling a solar panel in an Autocruse I have a 2007 Autocruse Tasman Pioneer Thanks in advance Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Welcome to the Out&AboutLive forums, Andy. I believe a 2007 Tasman Pioneer model will have been built before Autocruise was subsumed by Swift and I'm doubtful that a owner's manual is still available online for it. However, a manual for 2008 Autocruise-branded "Star" models can be found on the following link and this includes information on the "Energy Management System" that Autocruise may have fitted to your motorhome and that seems to have some sort of solar-panel connectivity. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/863814/Autocruise-Camper-Van-Range-2008.html?page=1#manual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
