Maybe I'm better off just getting a small inverter to run the TV/Satellite on its own then? Assuming the converter is a decent size (I upgraded my last unit and it made a HUGE difference plus no more boiled batteries).
I don't have the trailer yet so just contemplating where I'd put the "jars" and to keep them isolated from the rest of the pass through; I think they put the one measly 12v group 24 in a vented box.
Secondly you really need more than a pair of T105 to drive a 2000 or 3000 watt inverter that includes a transfer switch.
Consider a small 150 to 400 watt sine wave inverter and a small 15 amp transfer switch.
GoPower 300w SW $171 260 milliamp idle draw
ProWatt 15a transfer switch $50
Amps is not everything in charging a battery. You need a 3 stage converter to provide 14.4 to 14.8 volts on the battery. Post what you have for best suggestions.
