I'll definitely look into replacing the solenoid, this rig only has 70k miles but it does have a lot of years on it. And that's good information to have about the computer regulating voltage.
Right, so one power source would be:
400 AH L16s -> inverter -> 120V to coach (when I turn it on)
Battery bank charged by plugging in to shore power/genset.
The other power source would be:
94AH wet cell -> 12V to coach
Single battery charged by alternator and also by plugging in to shore power / inverter pass-through -> converter -> existing stock charging circuit
It looks like there is a Magnum Energy 2000W inverter/100A charger that might fit in the space I have available. My reading suggests that's a very trustworthy brand, but also that they've started building in China. I did read some horror stories about AIMS, but I don't know if they're current. Most of the complaints to the BBB have been resolved. Argh.
