My RV has two (2) 200W panels on the roof connected to a Victron 100/30 MPPT controller (factory installed).
It also has a factory installed Zamp port.
I am building a suitcase kit for when parked under obstructions (trees).
Panels: two (2) Newpowa 75W panels connected in series (already purchased).
Controller: Victron MPPT 75/15 mounted in the trailer next to the battery (already purchased).
Battery: SOK 206ah LiFePO4 (already installed in trailer).
I am rerouting the wires from the Zamp port from the factory wiring buss to the Victron controller.
I will route the wires from the controller back to the factory wiring buss.
I would like to use SAE connectors and have a 30-40 foot cable from the suitcase kit to the trailer.
Trouble is that I cannot find a SAE extension cable that long. They seem to max out at about 20 feet.
Two questions.
1. Does anyone know of a source for dual (twin) core cables with SAE connectors that are over 20 feet?
2. If long SAE extension can't be found, is it permissible to chain two shorter cables together to get the length I want?
I considered making my own cable. The cable is readily available but I can't find any SAE connectors, either. It seems that all SAE extensions have the connectors molded onto the cable and there are no DIY SAE connectors.
