Wiring critique

[8485448]

I'm a relative novice ... I'm redoing the wiring in my van.

The grounds aren't included in my diagram.

I'm running a few small lights, water pump, ARB fridge, and very occasionally a furnace.

I'm going to run 4 gauge from house battery to fuse panel and a 4g from the charger to the fuse panel. I'm going to run 6 gauge from the isolator to the fuse panel.

My battery is a group 31 105 ah AGM.

Question: the manual for my solar shows no fuse between the panel and the controller and the controller and the battery. Is this right? Suggestions?

Here is the manufacturer's install video: http://youtu.be/f36kxSRK0Ik

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hard to tell without a better understanding of what your "Charger/Converter" is and where your alternator is but I would suggest moving a fuse between the starting battery and the isolator. If your charger/converter is your alternator, than I don't think you should have anything between it and the battery.

I also don't follow why you would put 4 Ga. on the path from the starting battery to the isolator but only 6 Ga. for the rest of the path from the isolator to the fuse box. I think it would be more conventional to have the wire from the isolator go straight to the battery and have the fuse box come off the house battery.

Hope this helps. More importantly, if you haven't seen it, this thread is full of good examples for dual battery systems: http://www.expeditionportal.com/for...ke-a-cheap-isolated-dual-battery-setup-for-50

Good luck.
