Charging with TV alternator... Mod with pics...

Finally finished my charging cable mod from TV alt/battery direct to camper batterys for dry camping... I did a small charge today and checked voltages only. My clamp on amp meter was not working.....

Consumption is about 1.5 gph if I remember correctly.
