The reason I want 6 ga wire is to allow for expansion after the initial install and to minimize cable loss. I think I will go with parallel connection and that also increases the amperage. ...

If the solar connector was factory installed go to the winnebagoind.com website and find the wiring diagram. It should indicate where the wire from the connector is terminated.
