Alex, I like your review of the Renogy unit. I’m glad to see more TC owners making use of them. In my opinion, they are just what some of us have been needing for years.
Your installation looks very much like mine using a Redarc 40 amp DC-DC charger. Mine has a solar input as well, which I’m not using yet but probably will at some point. I used 4 AWG wires on mine as well. It works very well, and I’m glad I went that route.
It’s nice seeing someone else come to the same conclusions I did about their value. You said “having the Renogy DC50s in your camper increases the likelihood of your batteries arriving at close to a full charge when you arrive at camp.” That is exactly what I’ve been saying about mine. I can’t overstate the importance of that for me. I need to be ready to dry camp for at least a few nights at all times, and arriving at my destination with a depleted battery just, at minimum, makes my job more difficult, and at times takes options off the table for me.
Thanks for the update on your install.
