Hi chaps,
I haven't used my troopy HJ75 for a few years and want to pull it out of hibernation. as mentioned its a 24v starting so fitted with dual batteries. The rear battery also runs all the internal electrics, fridge, lighting etc... both will need replacing but had me thinking would I not be better off installing a Optima leisure battery for the aux... I understand leisure do not have the cranking amps... just looking for real time experiences..
Then i'm looking to install my 24v Webasto heater, thinking of connecting it to the cars 24v circuit, it only needs draw a large current to start, could that work ? could always have the engine running when starting the heater....finally if I throw solar into the picture - should I buy a stand alone battery pack / solar kit like the Go Zero...
many thanks for your ideas
Cheers
Matt
