On a related thought, the 12 charging/electrical has always been an issue somewhat on my older 96 Vogue, from figuring out the Duvac alternator to the old Sure Power battery isolator and to the Aux start solenoid. Makes a long story short , I've changed things up quite a bit over the years. For reasons that I can't fully explain in full here, I was thinking of separating the solar to my house/chassis batteries. Since I have a residential fridge, I want to be sure my chassis battery has no chance of discharging. I accomplish this now via two means, one is the use of the motorhome battery cut off solenoid and the other is hard wired battery switches near by batteries( on that subject, I have 6-6 volt house and 1-12 volt 8d as a chassis battery ) .... I'm thinking 6-800 watts of panels, using a PWM controller for maybe 100 watts to the chassis and a MPPT for the remainder of watts to my house batteries.
Ok....I know that's a lot to read, but your thoughts are sought and appreciated.
