Solar Pre-wire 2008 Safari 25 FB SE - Good enough?

Hi all,

I am trying to put together a Solar Charging System for our unit & am wondering about some of the practical issues of wiring.

I have looked at the schematics of the Solar Prewire package I supposedly have in the unit ( I have checked & the Green / yellow bundle is there in the Reefer compartment) & it looks like I may not have to do a lot of wire pulling to get from the roof to the battery buses but I see that it is 10 g wire they have installed. I was thinking I would go for a two panel 200 watt system from AM Solar. They include 8 ga wire for their system but I wonder whether the 10 ga factory stuff would be adequate.


I will obviously have to ask Roger at AM Solar but I'm curious to know whether anyone else here has been down this road ahead of me & could share some of their experience?

As a secondary question: Where did you install your control panel?

Thanks in advance.
