I have a 2019 Four Winds, mine being a 23U. Like yours, mine also is solar ready. I found the wires terminating in the compartment under the dining seat where all of the electronics are.

I'll check tomorrow to see what colors they are.

The solar ready wiring is white and orange with a black stripe. In my unit, they both have yellow DF wire crimps on their ends. They're shown coiled up on the left side of the left photo. The photo on the right is a close-up and oriented 90 degrees counter-clockwise.

I have a 2020 Daybreak 22GOc. Mine came solar ready with the Go Power, Solar Charge Controller, GP-PWM-10 converter. It is mounted on the side of the cabinet next to the door opening, where all the electronics and DC cutoff switch are located. Although it was factory installed, I had to pull it out to check the +- connections when I added my second panel to the roof. Both wires were black.
I also installed a 3000/1500 W inverter in the back of the cabinet under the refridgerator.

Mikmal, where did you install your controller? Under the seat? and from there you ran your wires to the battery?

Without knowing what model RV you have, all you will get are uneducated guesses (8 months later and no one has helped you yet).

The cables usually terminate in a compartment (not necessarily storage compartment) near the batteries where you can install the SOLAR CONTROLLER (not converter or inverter) with easy access to the house batteries.

Tell us your RV model and hopefully someone with the same model can zero in your search a little better.

I never installed one. I located the wires while I was trying to neaten-up the rat's nest wiring job, compliments Thor.
I have, however, considered installing solar (still undecided - it's just not a high priority for me) and if I go that route, will install the controller on the side of the dining bench so that; A) It's easily readable from the isle, B) the backside is accessible to the wiring without extending the existing lengths, and, C) it's a short run to the house batteries.
