power converters, and beyond.....
So, as I've been looking into developing my dry camping ability, I have noticed that battery charging has come to revolve around having a good converter/charger. I keep hearing about pitiful charger...

thanks again all.
RoyB, my question for you is, what is with those humongous fuses in your system?
is that just how much that inverter can suck out of a set of batteries before the inverter goes POOF! or vice versa if the charging side of the inv. goes bonkers?
after tracing and labeling all the wires in my batt compartment, I'm ready for that pair of 6v's. however my set up is a pair of 8ga wires off the batt(s) to two separate circuit protectors, 0ne just for the slide, and one for everything else(40 amp fuses). batteries are in the front, power conv. is mid-ships. too far(I think) to re-wire w/4ga. think that some day it will be an inverter/charger alongside or on top of the battery box. it will b close, and in the main cargo compartment so plenty of room for cooling air. will have to investigate disabling that charger in the existing converter at that time. will also e putting in those batt switches so I can maintain batteries better in the mean time.
