I added 520 watts of solar and a Bogart 30 amp system to my rig. It works well but a new problem has happened. It's now common for people to ask how we can have all these lights going and a big tv and...

The reason I asked about where he got the amp figures was because the controller output and a shunt (assuming it's on the battery wire) which you mentioned above will show different amps. The controller output first will supply the house and then the battery. So unless the house load is 0A the shunt doesn't indicated the controller output. Rather the shunt indicates what is going in/out of the battery bank.
Nice report and it's great that you are helping out.
Thanks I'm trying to learn his monitor programing. I can see solar amps and battery amps going back in on my bogart system and its usually close to my approximate house drain of 1.6 amps. Im treading cautiously as I learn his menu and walk him through it. He was nervous today as I started advancing through the different levels. I didn't fumble and change anything but we did notice that some of the settings are not the same as when the original installer had recorded the changes in his manual.
We'll get him up to speed. Some of these things are pretty confusing at first. When I first looked at my Bogart book it was pure dread washing over my mind. I'm still a begginer at it but I tell myself to read the manuals over and over. I have started writing down the morning numbers and hand written the whole list of P menu items so I burn them in my brain. It's fun stuff...compared to wheel bearing packing and brake shoes.
