Hey Kate, thanks for reaching out!

We do have some SAE extensions for you to check out, and if you don't already have an outlet on your RV with the SAE connector then I also recommend the Outlet # MA23BR.

Our SAE extensions come in a 15' Kit # MA83JR as well as a 25' Kit # MA46DR depending on your needs. These use 16 Gauge wire and are rated for 10 Amps so just make sure you won't be exceeding this with your solar panel setup.

It's important to note that the further the distance from the power source to the device needing to be powered (your batteries) the less effective the electricity will be. If you can give me some more details about your solar setup like what type of solar panels you have, what connections are used for the panels and your trailer, and what the distance is you're needing to cover, I can see if we have any better alternatives for you.
