my answer is still correct, small solar is a trickle charge for the chassis battery AKA maintainer
the heavy wires 3/0 for inverter, 2/0 from big alternator to batteries
(1) 3*4 solar panel is going to use wire sized between 10ga and 4ga depending on 'who' did the install
Thank you for your response sorry if I came off snarky I have a background in electricity but I am not a tech for RV's. I was hoping someone who had the same coach would chime in about the small controller being the factory original. My understanding is Fleetwood put in the tiny solar panels so they could advertise they had a solar panel even if it was mostly ineffective.
The small trickle charger to me is not needed with the big solar panel. The small fuse that is blown is only 1/2 amp I just wanted to make sure that it was not a control wire for the larger system I am still not sure.
I keep the coach under cover so until I move it I won't know if the solar is putting out anything.
This is a new to me coach bought in Oct. last year I am still learning this thing.
