Two Battery Banks, One Trimetric
This may be a useful idea for some, who knows? I have two separate battery banks in the Class C, and want a Trimetric for each of them. But I only need one at a time. I already have one Trimetric...

Now I have the two AGMs on inverter and four Wets on the rest (two T-1275s and two 6s).

An advantage to having the inverter on its own set of batteries is that can free it from the 11v low voltage alarm issue.
1. You can run the main battery bank down low if needed for some reason, but the inverter can still work on its set of batteries.
2. You can get away with the original thinner wire for the main bank to rig since it will only be doing ordinary size loads same as any RV has.
SO you are saying that you have less inverter V drop issues with two 12V AGMs (~200Ah total?) versus 4 6V FLA (~400Ah total?)?
I have heard that AGMs are better that way, but didn't realize they were THAT much better. I would have put the Inverter on the 400A FLA.
Also, its been my impression that our major increase in daily loads over the last few years has all been because of the DAM inverters (first a hand held, then 1000W and now 2000W). And now that the Microwave is in play, it will just get worst. A slippery slope, but I really have to do a more careful log of energy usage to be sure.
Anyway, that impression would also have me put the inverter on the 400Ah FLA bank.
