Solar wire size
I,m going to add another 100w panel to the camper and am not sure what size wire Lance used in 2011 12g or 10g it looks like 12g to me and if it is I will replace with 10g. Thanks for any help

My 2003 had 12 AWG if I recall correctly. 200 watts, even in parallel, will work fine with the 12 AWG. If you wire them in series (check your controller specs), you will definitely be fine. 200 watts of panels are never going to actually make 200 watts, and at the ~20 volts they'd be even in parallel, you're still only at half the capacity of a 12 AWG wire.
