If I did that I'd probably buy a new battery charger and mount it up front by the solar charger. My existing converter/charger is 20' back and charging through 6 awg wires, that can't be a great setup.

You're talking about putting an inverter on the tow rig and run a 120v extension cord back to my factory installed converter/charger? Would I mount the inverter under the hood? What size ~500w?

Victron smart solar 100/30. 100v/30a.

The converter I have is the Progressive dynamics PD9160A. "Once the battery reaches 90% of full charge, the Charge Wizardautomatically selects the NORMAL Mode (13.6V) to safely complete the charge. The STORAGE Mode (13.2V) is automatically selected after 30 hours of non-use of the 12-volt RV...

My solar charger is rated 30 amps and 100volts. "~350w" I can limit what the solar charger pulls? How do I do that? I have a 3000w Yamaha inverter generator that I can use if needed. I was trying to limit it's use. We've stayed at some national parks where generators aren't allowed. Yes I plan...

Summer*

It's a 2005 Pilgrim M-282 RBSS, I'd never heard of them either. I don't think it's insulated the best but two 1500w heaters on low keep it warm enough at 30f.

What about this fed into my Victron mppt 100/30 posted above? I need diodes at both the panel's input to the mppt and the booster's input into the mppt?

Someone stated they had done it, I don't remember who.

I've got a dedicated charging wire from the truck. I have a 12 to 36 volt booster(~500w) that I've run to the back of the truck. Planning to feed it into the MPPT solar charger. If I did the math right with 36 volts I can get by with 10 awg. It's going through the solar charger so I should get a...

I should have mentioned we'll be on mains/shorepower once we get to Alaska. This is just for the 2-3 weeks we'll spend getting to Alaska and for any bumming around we do after. There will be a fair bit of driving everyday.

I'm seeing 15k all the way up to 35k were options, I'll have to check myself when I get home. It's a big travel trailer but two 1500w heaters keep it plenty warm at 30f.

Thank you all for the replies. I'm curious what you all think of the image above and my description of it. Did I wire the shunt right? It's disconnected from shore power and the batteries right now. I don't want to fry something when I connect it. I have the Victron battery monitor and want to...

I forgot to mention that the cables going back to the 60 amp converter have a 30 amp self resetting circuit breaker in-line. The factory installed it down on the frame behind the batteries and just under the panel I’m working on. I'm not sure how I arrived at 200 amps for the breaker.

I'm not sure which needs more work, my microsoft paint or my wiring skills. We're traveling to Alaska in the spring as workcampers and I want to run the generator as little as possible. Biggest electrical load is the furnace blower which is tempature dependant, it draws something like 10 amps...

I bought a pair of stippers similar quality to those and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. The painted over cutting edges where what finally tipped me off.

Another advantage is you don't affect the aerodynamics.

With the short short bed that 1,200-1900 pounds is going to be resting all on your back axles/tires. Airbags do nothing to change that.

What size wheels and tires are those?

Your rear seats fold forward?:confused:
