While the Redarc install instructions don’t directly address the multiple charging devices that could exist in an RV, they do state that the Redarc input wire should be connected to an appropriately sized wire going to the truck’s battery (not the alternator), and the output should be connected directly to the auxiliary battery it will be charging, and as close as possible to it. That’s how I installed mine.
Also, the OP’s Redarc model and the 25 amp version I’m using have a built-in MPPT solar controller and a separate input wire for the panels.
:):)
I emailed REDARC, and I specifically asked them about WFCO playing with the REDARC. Here is their answer, “Charging from one source at a time is always the most ideal circumstance, as two charging sources at once can cause early float stages, and an incomplete charge.”
I’m going to ask them the WFCO to REDARC question now.
