And the list grows, lol.
A few things I'm trying to sort: Are these small switching supplies capable of singly holding 30 amps of output? Stacking a few of them so that they can all stay within designed ranges (ala Mena) obviates any more thought. How much automation is necessary? Use of the supply, unless permanently mounted and connected to an RV still has some intrinsic "manual" tasks. Being able to read an ammeter and voltage display would be minimum, I'm thinking. A timer and a trim pot with knob add additional functionality and would be must-haves. Temp compensation is nice to have but since this is a manually used charger and has some user interaction, I don't see a special need for it.
