2 Battery banks built from 6 volts
Hi all, I did a quick search of the forum but couldn't find what I was looking for. I have a 2018 17ft Jayco travel trailer. The majority of our camping is in the middle of nowhere. (boondocking) ...

It looks to me like there would be space to construct a two storey battery box on the trailer tongue. That's what I would do (and have them always all connected).
With a switching arrangement, you'd in essence be just swapping batteries in and out, so whichever one is active would be active for the loads, the converter, and the solar charging, and the other would be sitting entirely disconnected, assuming you wired all the loads and such through the selector switch. If you had the inverter or whatever bypassing it, it would of course only use the battery it's connected to regardless of the switch setting. (An exception would be the 1+2 setting, which connects everything to everything else.)
