Converter/ solar feasibility question.
I didn't want to hijack Muddys thread so here it is. I accidentally left the converter on when I hooked up the systems this trip and it got me thinking. Since the trailer is plugged into the big in...

Is the OP above the same as saying,....
I have some cloudy days, so batteries are slowly going down a little more every day. So rather than add more solar (move panels) I'll just use my inverter to power my converter to bring the batteries back up.
Ok, I must have misunderstood it completely, because we all know that don't work.
My understanding ( ? ) is that he has two separate batteries of different types and one solar set- up that he swaps back and forth to one battery at a time. To save swapping over work he wants to charge one battery with a 120v powered charger or converter powered from the inverter attached to the other battery that is getting the solar.
It is not "efficient" but saves work and he has tons of solar so he doesn't care if it "wastes" some in order to save the work.
I gather the solar is not arranged yet to use a big switch to do one or the other or both, because it is still all portable, and the batteries are not in the same location so they can be both wired to that switch.
