Suspected Converter Problem
Hey guys, back again. Hoping to gain some insight into an ongoing problem we've had this summer. RV is a 2004 Fleetwood Terry Quantum AX6 365FLTS. The rv came with a factory installed WFCO 8855 ...

Ok, you can have two neg wires from shunt to the two- battery bank with those two wires being equal per Method 3. That end of the shunt is the junction for the neg fan per that Method 3 drawing. The two negs are also your parallel neg link between the two 12s.
What I don't get is now your pos and neg are not equal from their junctions to the converter. The two pos are equal and the two negs are equal but they are not equal to each other. I am unclear (to say the least) if they are supposed to be.
Generally, the pos and negs do not have to be the same since it is a circuit and it is the total R of pos and neg that counts. So it ought to be ok if the pos links are equal and the neg links are equal but the paths from pos and neg junctions to the converter are not the same. Or maybe it does matter. I have no clue.
So IMO go with Method 2 since you have two batts anyway. And as you say, if you change to a pair of 6s, you will need their series connection link and Method 3 makes for two parallel links you don't want with the 6s.
So perhaps somebody who does have a clue about all this like PT does, can step in here and explain it all. :)
