Renogy DC-DC Test Results-UPDATE 4 (Better!)
Updates 23 June--new test with Renogy input exposed for voltage readings Update 25 June more readings Update 4 - 27 June-- fewer amps with fat wire were noted this time! ----- I have the 20 ampe...

I changed the Renogy input from 7-pin to by- pass the 7-pin connections in the camper. So input now the same truck 7-pin positive wire but now straight to the Renogy, and a piece of #8 wire from truck frame (by top of bed rail close to the camper) to Renogy neg input terminal.
The actual 7-pin still has the neg wire just no pos pin 4 wire so it runs the signal lights etc, but no charging.
Input voltage was 10.42, now it is 11.28v. No change in output no way to know the draw (assumed still 30 amps)
I have an easy way to disconnect that input as well as the normal 7-pin to take the camper off the truck. I don't see any point in going for fatter wire from truck battery to Renogy unless somebody can say why. ?
