thanks littlebill for getting back to me and for the link. Electronic manuals are very hard for my brain to understand, wiring diagrams no problem, but I am trying.
So when does alternator charging come into play with this relay?
Is the "main purpose" of this relay to allow the alternator to help charge the house battery on cloudy days while driving?
This relay is getting to be a big deal in my head, i am almost thinking I should get rid of it and let the solar system be a free standing system on its own, get rid of the battery cables connecting batteries together etc.?
especially if the house battery will only give a "try or two" to help the starter battery, doesnt seem like all these mental issues I have with battery cables connected, to much pressure for my altenator/regulator to handle, thoughts of fuses blowing is worth it? thoughts?
I have not set the van up for shore power yet and dont know if I should/would.
thanks
