Bepar,
The portable systems are plug and play. They have the panels, controller and wiring. You can just use the alligator type connectors that usually come with them or if you have a port on the side of your trailer it can plug in there. You don’t have to do anything with the roof wiring to use it.
On the prewiring, it really depends on what your manufacturer installed. It has been my experience that most manufacturers don’t use large enough of a gauge for the wiring. If you have time, there is a wealth of information on HandyBob’s solar Blog.
Cheers,
Chris
