Don't mean to hijack this thread . .
But does one seriously need a PhD in electronics to charge their house batteries?? After reading 8 pages of posts - it almost seems that way.
This thread has been all over the board - (BTW: Mexicowanderer - I like your style!) from my interest: PDs are good/ PDs are junk . . I have a P9245 - a few years old now; am pulling the RV ('01 Rialta) out of 'retirement' and trying to get her up to speed - while full timing. Prefer to boondock full time. I posted a Q here: http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/28746840/gotomsg/28746978.cfm#28746978 where you can read about my woes!
Trying to learn. Need a good voltmeter. But . . in short if possible . . where does one go to learn about: voltage drop and testing; wire size requirements; Is my PD9245 good or junk? which may be moot after I add solar.
Any website recommendations for a beginner would be greatly appreciated. I could spend days just wandering this forum!
