ANOTHER D*** Solar Question!!!!
Just upgraded trailer to a new, much larger trailer (Timber Ridge 280RKS) which has a "huge" 10W Zamp solar panel. The panel is wired directly to the battery through a master switch and 30A breaker. ...

According to the 12v wiring pdf from Outdoors RV, the wire from the 10W to the batts is 16 ga, don't think it would work for a much larger panel. The batts are max 3-4 ft from the possible controller location. The distribution center and wfco (!!!) is aboot 10ft from the batts and is connected with 6 ga wire.
We mostly dry camp, boondock, and have a 2k Champion as needed. After spending what we did on this trailer, I'm trying to keep the add'l costs down to please the boss!! My idea is to provide some charging input to offset the normal parasitic draw, and add a few amps during the day in the woods.
A lot of "get rid of the 10 watt", so I guess that the .6-.8 amps it can provide is meaningless!!! That would just leave a few holes in the roof that the brackets now occupy.
