I ordered my trailer with the 265W solar panel. I plan on adding two 265W panels. During another mod (cut roof open to add another vent for rear living area), I discovered how they ran the solar panel wire in the ceiling as it ran in the same truss bay were I opened up the roof/ceiling. It looked to be a no larger than a 12 gauge wire. Maybe 10. It ran to the wall on the DS even though the panel was on the ODS. Then down the wall between two slides and likely under the floor to the MPPT controller. I'd like to use the existing wire if it's at least 10g and run the two additional panels in series and upgrade the controller. If it's not clipped to anything in the wall or ceiling, I will upgrade it and use it as a pull wire as noted above. It'd be nice if they'd just provide conduit in one or two places. In the old days, I just ran wire in the chase behind the fridge.
