I would not ever use this connector. Either a properly prepared wire and good mechanical butt splice or two wires twisted together to make mechanical connection then solder.
Low temp solder is just a cold solder joint waiting to happen ... especially if on an RV where road vibration plays havoc on connections

Maybe I’ll do a side by side by side. One of these, a regular butt connector and a hand solder/wrap.
They are going in the bumper of wife’s truck. She’s not an off-roader by any means but it will give me a chance to see.
I’ve never soldered wire together. I’ve always used butt connectors and really have never liked them. I always don’t crush enough and the wire comes out as I’m working down the line, or I crush too much and the connector is cracked and I’m worried about sparking.
