I used ordinary #8 black and red, no UV. The red goes pink after a while if left exposed. I used plastic split wire sleeving over the exposed wires on the roof. No UV protection in that either AFAIK, but will replace when that deteriorates. If the 1991 RV outlasts that!
Thanks, yeah, I was considering doing just that! So you covered the wires with commonly available split wire loom?
Yes. I was able to pair the black and red #8s into one split loom from each panel. Can't remember size of loom , 1/2" ? Used Eternabond strips here and there to hold it down
A good lesson learned the hard way, is leave the panel pigtails to stick out past the panel when the panel is lying down. Now you can add your wire to that. It gets complicated if you have to add your wire to the panel first before laying it down, and then you can't get at it if your connection isn't connecting right.
Thanks. So what type of connections did you use from the pigtails?
