Solar port > 10 amp rated - not AS, but applicable

[dznf0g]

Background: my son is trading an opus4 up to an opus 15. He wants the suitcase solar (200w) moved over to the new camper with a nice port up high on the side. (These campers are made for deep water overlanding fording, so an anderson underneath like I did on my AS is not an option.)
We'd like the format of the furion solar port, but they are 10 amp rated.
The 200w (16v Vmp) panels have a theoretical output of 12.5A. I know that will never happen, due to losses, but I have seen 11+ amps out of my rooftop 200w system, under perfect seasonal/daily conditions.

So, has anyone found a port rated above 10A, with a nice durable lid like furrion?

Or...thoughts on using the furrion 10A model knowing that there is "probably" a margin in their rating. (This option makes me nervous)
If so, install a circuit breaker upstream from the controller? If so, 10A? A bit larger?

This YouTube states exactly why I am somewhat confused by the 10amp rating.

Could the reason be that furrion has no idea if :
How large of a panel one chooses...and...
Whether the installer is locating an mppt controller at the portable panels, resulting in lower voltage and higher amps at the port...

Or

The installer is locating the controller inside the camper, resulting in higher voltage and lower amperage at the port???

So they cut the rating in half!!??

Why not just do like in the video and swap out the inner connector for the metal one rated at 20a?

Probably will, especially if he wants black, to match the trailer paint.

However, curiosity still has the best of me, on why the guts of the gray and white one are the same as the rated 20 amp socket.

So maybe I figured it out. The guts of the furrion seem to be cnlinko connectors mounted in a furrion body (gray and white ones). When I shop cnlinko connectors, the 10 and 20 amp part numbers appear physically the same, but the 10 amp one will only accept 14 - 16 gauge wire.
The 20 amp part number will only accept 10-12 gauge wire. So the glands and terminals must be different.
Since I can only find a 100watt furrion panel offering, they only offer the 10 amp model.

I guess the solution here is to swap the guts, like the YouTube demonstrates.
