solar options
Last summer I had a 240 watt kit(from Solar Blvd.) Installed on our MH. It has two 120 watt panels feeding a 20 amp charge controller. I recently had the two stock 12 volt marine house batteries rep...

10 gauge for 30 amps, or under, from the panel to the controller, will work. You'll want something like 6 or 8 gauge from the solar panel charge controller directly to the battery terminals, and as short a run as possible. The loses between the charge controller and the battery pack, after the volts and amps are controlled, is the critical wire diameter and lenght issus. Keep them short, and fat, to minimize losses in voltage and amps. Fat wire is low resistance wire.
