Solar conundrum (updated with shopping list)
Ok so if you haven't noticed I am planning on a solar upgrade to my Sundance (See sig). I am going to be going with two Trojan T-105 6v's (225 amp-hours total). We just went camping and over the two...

Your on the right track , your the one that has to be happy with the purchase
I went through the same process , trying to keep it cheap
This is the fifth rv of mine I put solar on
As all the bits and pieces added up I wanted all the bang for my buck and decided to do MPPT
As long as you tell yourself its a 380 watt system and not a 450 watt system and because pv panels are cheap you are happy with a PWM all is good 15.? volts in absorb x 8.33 amps = 375 watts
When you start cutting holes and wiring your new 5th a few dollars more might not seem so un realistic
For the Bogart system with temp wire and shunt aren't you over 300.00
For the Tistar 45 amp rated for 600 watts of PV and the remote panel / with temp included , that has terminals up to 2 ga wire that does everything the bogart does that I can tell is 530.00
Minus the extra money for larger wire and combiner box
I do have a Morningsar PWM on my Lance camper
But that's just how I got to that decision for myself on my 5th
Good luck with the install
