A solar controller uses PWM but how does a typical RV converter do it? How much play is there up and down to hold it there? I have a 12v mystery draw I am chasing down, but in the middle of this, ...

This is why the MV wires on my shunts are soldered directly to the block. Wires are twisted and shielded and meters remain dead accurate for years.
I did it to myself, but learned something anyway. I had previously split the battery bank and had one solar set to each part, but with one Trimetric display, so I arranged two shunts and wire sets but for the one display. (Taking turns)
I rigged up a trailer 4-pin from each shunt to one on the display wires, so the display would show from whichever 4-pin it was plugged into. Later, I went to one big battery bank, paralleled the two solars on the one bank, and only used the one shunt with its 4-pin.
My crime this time, was that I did not squeeze the two 4-pins together tight enough. (Hard to tell--when the display lights up, you think you are good to go. Nope! ) So the lesson for me is squeeze the 4-pins really tight! (Being my own worst enemy as usual)
