Adding Solar to my 2008 36 TKSB3

Hi Gang, just found this forum ran some searches to see if anybody had installed Solar after delivery of their unit and see there have been a few. I would like to know if that 10 gauge wire hidden (somewhere on the roof) can safely support 2 or 3 80watt panels ? maybe if somebody knew the actual location of the wire up there it would save me the effort of running a new one down to the batteries.

My last trailer had no generator built in but had a 120 watt solar panel which was a LOT quieter on those extended long range dry camp excursions which I still seem to be focusing on with my new 5er. Looks like I should have put the solar on the roof at the onset... doh!

Any help with location of my wires and brand of panels is appreciated!

Cheers

My Unit:
Xantrax power inverter
Onan 5500 Gold propane Gen set.
4 X 6 Volt batteries
Trail Air under and up front
17.5 tires with HD axels
