Thanks for all the help everyone. I know that i need to invest time into reading the manuals. I enjoy reading manuals.
This morning i noticed something weird. The way the converter and solar were interacting. Its almost like when the solar was in charge mode, the converter would not send out power. But then when the solar relaxed, the converter decided to be the power source.
Here is what happened. Might not make sense.
1. Plugged into shore power, solar is hooked up, and i had the battery disconnect set to ON. (forgot to turn it off)
2. Woke up and noticed the solar display was at 14.4v, and giving 2amps.
3. Thats different than normal. Realized i forgot to turn off a light in the storage compartment.
4. Flip the disconnect to OFF, and the solar amp goes to zero.
5. Turn back on and solar takes over the 2amp draw.
Now im confused myself!! Trying to remember.
6. Once again turn the battery disconnect off and wait a bit. The solar display starts to drop to 13.6v. I think that part i understand as the solar will drop to 13.5v float charge when it considers the batteries to be 100%. Which the display showed them as.
7. Whats weird is i try the same test. Turn on my rear cargo lights that draw 4amp. I turn the battery disconnect to ON, but this time the converter takes over. Solar display stays at zero and my clamp meter shows the converter wire giving power to the 12v system.
---------------------
Whats that all about? Its like while the solar was in 14.4v charging mode, the converter decided to NOT take over. But when the solar was at 13.5v, the converter supplied the power.
I know this might seem silly to some. Im just messing around trying to see what the trailer does. Normally im on shore power with the battery disconnect turned off and the solar maintains the batteries.
