That's interesting. Every connector in my house panel from 15 to 60 amp uses a screw connector with solid wire.
How many #10 splices have you got that are actually stranded to solid? Solid to solid is a different matter. Plus being in an RV that is subject to vibration and wide temp. swings is different than in a house.
Where would you have a 60 amp connector (wire nut) in a house?
Zero stranded to solid but it's not a problem if you need to do it. Stranded to solid is used in many 120 v applications such as can lights etc. but I think this is what we are talking about:
" I recommend against connecting #10 solid wire directly to the lugs of the EMS and only use stranded."
He wont have stranded to solid either. He will have the existing solid from the panel to the EMS and solid from the EMS to the furrion connector. All romex will be stationary and secured like the rest of the romex inside the rig. He's using the original cord with a new furrion end from his rig to the pedestal.
Solid wire in set screw lugs is very common.
His original junction box had stranded to solid in it from the manufacturer, with wire nuts.
