Discovering 2018 17B

Was wondering if anybody could tell me what this gizzo is. It is in the passenger side of the forward top cabinet.

Also, if the trailer was factory equipped for solar, what would be included and how would I find these pieces?

That is the receiver for the electric awning. The white wire is the antenna. It also controls the outside LED strip if you have that option. If you don’t…there is a wire in the bunch that you can switch 12 volts on and off in that area via the awning remote. Say an inside light.

Thank you for identification of the awning gizmo.

If the unit was factory pre wired for solar how would I verify that?

Contact ETI with your VIN. They can give you an entire build list.
