Adding Solar.
Hey guys, I just got my first RV! My RV is a 97 Winnebago adventurer. I already own 150 watt solar panel array that charges a 110AH costco deep cycle. The RVs coach batteries are two 75AH deep cycles....

However in the case of RV batteries anything from Group 24 to 8D in parallel is just fine while in use. Charging and Using the batteries will be fine. If stored without a float charge would be the time to separate.
In my experience with batteries, I have always been told it is bad to connect batteries of different AH rating, is that not the case in this situation?

Considering the number of batteries the multiple sources will only work in your favor to keep them charged and provide maximum power while in use. In parallel slows the individual battery charge or discharge and increases efficiency based on the Peukert Effect (wiki that if needed).
Also, if they are all in parallel, do I just hook up the solar charger right to them with all the other charger sources going in and it wont be a problem?
