I did what Mex said! :)
I now have the two 12s in parallel as the bank for the 2000w inverter (the bank's only load) which takes care of the microwave, toaster, and kettle. I ran a wire from that bank to inside to a little voltmeter continuous read, because that bank is not on the Trimetric. The voltage will tell me what is going on with that 12v bank. ( I did not run the second wire from the Trimetric like you can)
Meanwhile, the four 6s are in a bank with the rest of the rig to run, including the smaller inverter that runs the tv/dvd etc. The Trimetric is on that.
I haven't figured out solar charging yet. My solar can be switched over to either bank, but I really should have two solar sets. I will worry about that next year.
