OK, my Solar dilemma... converter on one end of rig..

and my Batteries are on the tongue...

Should I wire directly to the batteries, or pull a new run of cable from the converter to the tounge?

my fridge vent is on the center of the rig... more or less?

Im really looking hard at the Go power extreme kit

  • Use as short a run of wire as possible from the solar controller to the batteries. For a TT this generally means mounting the controller in the front pass through then battery wires down through floor and up to battery box. Your TT converter location is not important to the solar system (they are seperate systems that both charge the baterry(s).
  • Hi,

    Kit's are not usually a bargain. Solar should be wired to the battery, not to the converter.
  • Wire direct to batteries. Since you're in SoCal, go over to Norco and visit Solarblvd and/or visit their website.
