Trimetric AHM for everything in and out of house battery bank. Solar controller displays solar amps upstream of Trimetric (so can see that not all solar amps reach the battery bank eg)
Have set up the Class C with two separate battery banks, each with its own converter and each with its own solar set. One (AGMs) does only the inverter for all 120v off-grid work. The other (Wets) does all the usual 12v stuff-(that bank also gets any alternator charging.)
I can swap over the single Trimetric as needed. (Have two shunts so just swap the display wiring with quick connect plugs) Normally the Tri goes on the house 12v bank. Only use it on the inverter's AGM bank when recharging the AGMs to true full with the Tri set to amps.
Have a couple other battery voltage readouts plus the DVM that also can do 10 DC amps (as fused--got tired of frying non-fused DVMs by accident)
