Solar install question
Hi all. I am wanting to install a solar panel on top of my Aspen Trail 1700db TT. I know enough about how solar works to understand the BASIC relationship between panel, charge controller, and batte...

I would go 40 amp fuse with a 30 amp controller connected with #6 wire.
Maxi fuse holder with #6 leader
Nothing special about a "solar panel switch". Just needs to be rated for the DC voltage and Isc (short circuit amps) panel rating.
Trouble is I don't know a great low cost solution. I used a high voltage cut off switch since I have series panels that can go over 100 volts. A bit bulky. For simplicity two of those fuse holders might do fine. Something like Blue Sea rotary battery switch might work. For mine I like having both wires disconnected but one should be fine.
Here is a two pole battery switch. Not sure if this is best or how you will mount it.
DPST Master Disconnect Switch
I like this one better:
Blue Sea 2 circuit surface mount $41
Should be able to mount it in the fridge compartment just above the controller.
