MC4 cable securement

How is the adhesion, highway speeds and will it rip roof material when/if removed?

If it will, you'll phone the Cordmate and they will forward you a new part for free, with apologies :)... Or what do you think? Cordmate is an interior part. Yes, adhesive can rip wallpaper off when new, and can fall off when aged. I used it inside, no plans to remove, and added a few #6 screws to make sure it won't fall off.

MC4 cables are UV-resistant. A blob of Dicor every few ft will hold it to the roof rubber. On the exterior front sloped wall - don't know, nobody normally does this since controllers are usually inside (or in front storage).

That cord mate ii looks interesting. How flexible is it? Do you think it will bend enough to follow the outside contour on the front of my trailer?

Just to clarify, I'm not going to run the cable inside. It's going on the outside, down and around the front of the trailer.

Ran mine in cord mate II and painted it for UV protection.

Not sure about "black molding". In my trailer it is "shiny" diamond aluminum plate on the front wall. If I were to pull cables through this diamond plate, I would use strain relief connectors.

Having said this - you don't have to pull cables through the front trailer wall. Just follow red battery cable to the inside, you will find a J-box and bunch of wires going up through the black coroplast and into the floor particle board. Drill another hole through the floor of the front storage. It's just a 3/8" particle board. Make sure you don't hit the floor joist. If your trailer is anything like mine, the front storage is adjacent to bedroom cabinet or a night table next to the cabinet.

I didn't route solar cables to controller outside, but instead mounted controller on the wall under the cabinet, and routed the battery cable outside.
