Hi Gang, we're only able to work on this a little at a time, appreciate you staying engaged. The Barker tongue jack arrived, beefy unit. It fit the top hole but not the bottom, had to open it up 1/16". Now it fits, haven't hooked it up yet.
Regarding the wiring mess, you were right Boomerweps, the red 10ga wire to green with the 30 amp fuse is the solar charging circuit. Pulled the fuse and the controller goes dead. FWIW this controller and the larger solar panel looks to have been added after the trailer was built.
Of the (2) 8ga wires we know one is the parallel connection between the batteries and we agree Grit dog, it should be larger 4ga. We'll address that when we switch to the golf cart batteries.
Still don't know about the second one, could it be connected to the starter motor on the generator? Guess we'll disconnect it and try that.
We see what you did CA Traveler with the copper tube bus bar. Clever, you're able to keep some things always connected to battery power and the things you want to turn off go through the disconnect switch. Not sure what we will end up doing, appreciate the idea.
We'll update as we learn more. Thanks again!
