Lance 1181 solar install?
Checking to see if anyone has added solar to a Lance 1181. If so, please give me some specifics......will probably post this over on the Lance forum too.

You are correct 12 Ga is way too small abandon it. I think this is the most important obstacle that you will have to overcome with RV Solar. Just in case you haven't seen these sites before I have included some links:

Thanks for the very interesting links.....especially the voltage drop calculator. You can very well calculate how wire length and gauge make a huge difference......with 25 feet of 12 gauge wire, 12v and 14A, 9.1% is being lost.
I'm a little under the weather today, so haven't yet full explored the others.
PIANOTUNA......I'm not sure I understand why the loss wouldn't be as important with PWM. It seems to me that with voltage loss also comes current loss either way?
