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.....

Sorry, but living in a place where gas costs over $8gal I am looking at this setup & wondering, how can this make any sense at all? Might as well simply put booster cables across if you really get stuck. If this is going to be a regular thing get yourself an inverter generator. It will burn pennys in gas & be so much more flexible allowing you to live almost like on full power.
