Don't just solder the wire into the connector, make sure you use a crimper meant for 6 gage lugs. I think actually there might be specific crimper's for those connectors. The reason why you don't want to just solder wires in is most solders are meant to melt at low temperatures and those temperatures can easily be reached with high current draws from motors like the Atwood/cim. If the solder melts theres a chance that it can bridge across the internal lugs and create a dead short.
