What did you do to your Class C MH today???
This is always a fun thread to watch in other forums, so I thought I'd start one here.

Hi TreeSeeker,
I added a 2nd battery bank (500 additional amp-hours). I added a 2nd wire from the engine charging circuit to that bank. I can charge one bank while using the other, or I can use and charge both at the same time. I can do the same with the solar charging output.
The two battery banks can be "strapped" together via the heavy duty manual switches for my inverter.
I get about 70 amps maximum from the two charging circuits. The OEM maxes out at about 30 amps and the add on at about 40 amps.
They will also act as a "poor man's boost system". If I turn on the ignition energy will flow from the house battery bank and solar panels into the engine battery.
I chose to have heavy duty solenoids that have 50 amp automatic circuit breakers on them.
