Jayco Eagle 12vdc Off Grid Setup?
Hey everyone. Just purchased my first TT, a Jayco Eagle 30'. I am trying to get it set up for off grid use to live in this summer while we finish our off grid house we are building. I have a few quest...

You could leave the batteries where they are and minimize line loss by getting 2-12v batteries, and running them in series @ 24v. Then of course you'll need a 24v inverter, which are not hard to find.
If you want the inverter in the battery box, which is never recommended, it's best to get AGM batteries to not eliminate, but severely limit any outgassing.
I doubt you'd forget to turn off the converter as long as you look at your system voltmeter now and then. It would be telling you quickly that your battery voltage is dropping, fast.
Solar panels can also be connected in series to up the voltage to limit line loss.
