Solar panels and 10 GA wire?
I ended up buying a 2016 Arctic fox 25Y TT that has two 100 watt solar panels on it. I also have a Grape 160 watt solar panel that I was going to use a combiner box and put it on there. I just found...

If I wanted to go series to get max use of the panels, could I put one of the AM solar combiner boxes in and go pos to neg in the box to get series with the three panels, and I would have to go to a MPPT controller?
As to its worth, probably not great with 360 watts, but if you go higher it's almost a must. If you get the parallel operation going, check for heat buildup at all connections during max solar output.
