No problem....

IF you look closely it is mounted upside down. Being upside down the voltage will drop and the polarity will be reversed. The neutrons will be out of phase. Your $500 MPPT SOLAR charge controller may have an option to compensate for the issue.

Easy fix I am sure

I'd like to add, that wire doesn't look near heavy enough to transfer the massive amount of voltage that beast must deliver

Park your RV in my driveway and for a only $15,000.00 I will hook up that panel for you.

Do you think I may have put too much SOLAR on my RV? I like to have all the conveniences of home when I travel....

No such thing as too much solar or wind power..
