To the OP - it is downright scary how much your system is identical to what I am doing. Same kit, same upgrade to Bogart, same batteries, same high elevation camping, minimal power use, etc. For those wondering on the change out of the controller, the price from Solar Blvd for the kit is great considering it includes free shipping. You can essentially throw away the POS controller and be better off than buying panels, wire and brackets individually and paying freight.
For my system I will 'likely' add one more 150W panel down the road but just want to get this system installed. My new TH is not delivered until Tuesday so need to get the basics done first. As has already been mentioned, the 10ga may or may not be good when getting up to 450W so I am thinking about going with a combiner box and then either 6 or 8ga wiring down to the controller as that gives me future expansion capability.
We can both compare notes when done to see how we both end up working out!
