Avenue All-Access Solar Limitations

[offacough]

I'm going to start product-specific before cross-posting to the Electrical subforum.

• The Avenue All-Access models are equipped with a 200w panel and 15amp MPPT controller. The inverter prep is limited to 300w.
• The full Avenue series has a 400w panel, a 40amp MPPT, and supports a 3000w inverter.

I understand that this is as good as it's going to get from Alliance, but if I'm wondering if the wiring or build otherwise limits aftermarket options. I eventually would like to get a 3000w inverter and whatever count of panels it requires to make it work. I'm wondering if I have to start from scratch, or can just upgrade the charge controller and add panels.

The biggest concern I can think of is the gauge of wire installed, and any other coach outlet limitations.

I understand Alliance making this a low-cost, entry-level solar entry on this model, although I think they ought to make it as extensible as any other coach. Just because your coach is smaller doesn't mean you might not want to have lithium batteries and the ability to run an AC while boondocking.
