Nice. Thanks. Also found this ************ stuff, http://www.axon-cable.com/en/02_products/02_composite-cables/02/index.aspx I'm basically an armored vehicle, right?

Type of Wire What type of wire have people used for the solar panels? I don't want to mount the solar panels to the roof, for among other reasons, because I want to be able to set-up in the shade when possible, then throw-out the panels ten, twenty, or thirty-feet away. For this purpose, I need...

Done, and done. Returning the MPPT charge controller and remote monitor that arrived last night, and "Doing it right the first time". This still counts as the "first time", right? I've double-checked, but just to double-double-check, these are the droids I'm looking for, yes...

Awesome! On it. I'm just building a shell camper in the bed of the Ram. Don't think I can disconnect it from the cab ;) Hmmm, that does look interesting. I already ordered a Tracer (Chinese) MPPT controller off of Amazon. It seemed to have a lot of positive reviews, but the super cheap-o...

Thanks fisher205. i've been using the "50$ dual-battery set-up" post as a guide while wrapping my head around the basic set-up. It's been great at simplifying things for me, and giving me a basic understanding of what to shoot for. Because of the relatively high output of the Ram EcoDiesel...

Thanks again-and-again, DS. So I'm sold on the Blue Sea ACR. Is there a wiring diagram for setting it up on truck/camper on your site or someplace already posted on these forums? Second question: I'm also installing a solar system (i know, it's a tight fit. I might have to ditch Pluto.) Are...

Thanks again. This info about specifically about how AWG effects charging is new to me, but obviously makes perfect sense. Thanks for that. Just so I'm clear, does the relay also work to isolate the vehicle battery from the aux battery bank, so I won't tap the starting battery while chilling...

Thanks, DiploStrat. I appreciate the detailed response to let me understand better whats actually happening with the electrical. I hear great thins about all things BlueSea, but the price point is a bit out of my range. Looks though like the current I need to be concerned with is across the...

I'm looking to set-up an aux battery system with my Ram EcoDiesel using an isolator such as this PowerStream. However the product page for the PowerStream states, "150 amps is the maximum current that the relay can reliably break", and the alternator on the EcoDiesel is spec'd at 230 amps. I...
