Lessons learned:
1. I used 4" and 1" aluminum angle, 3" and 1&1/2" would be better.
2. 8 gauge solar wire is STIFF. 10/2 marine wire would have been a better choice.
3. I couldn't push the wire down the vent pipe. Couldn't push a fish tape up. Fishing weight on light line went down, pulled up heavy line, pulled wire down.
4. 8 gauge is a bear to terminate on the Eco-Worthy.
Gotta run out and see how many amps now!
Defaults on the Eco-Worthy are 14.4 volts and 13.7. Think I'll use that for storage, camping with hookups. I'll set it to something like 15 and 14.4 for dry camping.
Thank you again rv.net solar puppies for all the advise & assistance.
