They recommend 6AWG <5M and 8AWG >5m but I only have 1 cable under that. I could use 8 but some runs would be close.

2) I think 10 AWG is the most common I've seen used for the fridge, I ran 8 AWG because I had it. The pre-made ARB and Dometic wiring use 10 AWG for example.
Awesome
6) I was not happy when I tried to fit 8 AWG wires in the windshield trim, I ended up going through the rear instead.
Ok maybe I will run 12 or 14 for lights on roof rack. Leave the 10AWG for RTT power and solar as a short length that I can connect when needed.

7) they make through panel connectors you can use, I have a place to plug in 120V for onboard charging but you could use a similar spot for solar. I have no idea what wire gauge this is so I'm not recommending this product specifically, but this is the type of socket I am talking about: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0031BOTFC..._eiHiEbRQ7QJK2
and here is my suggestion for where you could install it (ignore the red circle i was showing the antenna mount). The plastic panel pops right off and you can drill through it, it's cheap to replace if you change your mind later:

Is that a NOCO? I have seen them for shore power. Guessing I could just use the connector you have with an Anderson on the other end.
