Is 24v standard for all diesels, otherwise where does it come from?
Good question, it is unclear to me what the OP is talking about. If you had a 24V system I could see using the solar controller as described. I just don't know what vehicles have 24V electrical systems.
Re-read carefully - I use a $30 "Voltage Doubler" Boost Converter inside the TV, under the control of a dashboard switch. Switch Off = Towing a "normal" Trailer, or not Towing at all. Switch On = only when towing a Trailer with the Mod, capable of recognizing and handling high input Voltages via a Solar Controller. With the Boost Converter in the TV, the input to the MPPT COntroller is typically 26-29V.
