We need to know what gauge the wire is going from the roof down to the solar controller, and then on to the battery. (My 2017 Airstream has 10g wire, but Airstream is now putting 8g wire there.)
Thanks for the quick reply Bobbo! That is a good point and a great place to start, I will have a peek at it and post the wire size in the next couple days if the weather holds out.
I do think that changing out the wire for a larger size is something that I could manage to do without having to tear anything out to the point of it leaving any obvious signs that the work had been performed, but that does still leave me needing to know about the capacity or "ampacity" if you will of the other stock components(other than the wiring itself).
Thanks again and I love having this forum where people can share what they have already experienced regarding so many things!
