I stopped by the Welding Supply house yesterday morning. On the "Clearance" table was a roll of 4g welding wire with 80' remaining. EXACTLY the length I needed. Decision was made. Going with 4Ga on my install.
Got the panels installed and all wiring done on the roof
Interesting to note that the panels were outputting 5.6v even being covered with heavy cardboard!
Ran wires down the refrigerator vent and under the trailer to front area. I also realized that the screen Forset River uses in this area has very large holes that ants, bees, etc could access. I cover it with a piece of window screen while I was up there.
Built a panel for the solar controller, shunt and 12V main tap. Mounted a stainless steel bolt through a piece of Delrin plastic to bring all 12V leads to one place within the trailer. On this trailer the batteries sit on tongue.
This panel will ultimately be within a new front storage compartment with outside access as soon as the cargo door shows up.
Today I'll finish the install and get everything wired to the two group 31 AGM batteries.
