Soldering is obviously fine on connectors designed for it. But on cars and
in this case a camper, all the loom connectors are crimped.

Yes they don't solder those anymore too expensive to do..

Of course on
such a large cable it may not make much difference in the end. Although
it's probably easier to make a reasonable solder joint than crimp, if you
don't have the correct crimping tool. Assuming you can solder. ;-)

Yes had plenty of practice and crimping both are good if done well..
