The BN TT has a WFCO converter, but since we dry camp I wanted a more capable charger when running off a generator.
I mounted an IOTA 55A deck mount to the ceiling of the front pass-through. 120VAC was tapped off a bedroom outlet and fished into the pass-through on a switched outlet. 12DC is a 3' run to the batteries.
The WFCO had a spare breaker slot so I put it on its own breaker. I can now turn either converter on or off. I'm still using the factory 12V wiring and distribution panel in the WFCO.
