If it is any help to you, following is a high level schematic of how I am hooking my electrical system up. It may give you some ideas:

Thanks for the diagram. Solar was ordered today, I think I am going to run two 6V batteries and in inverter to power the existing 30 amp system. Going to keep it simple.

Nice choice on the inverter. I like that built in Auto-transfer feature. :thumbsup:

So the trailer and red four wheeler were stolen last week. Looks like they hooked it up to a tow truck and took off. Conveniently, the storage facilities cameras were not operating and their gate was malfunctioning. The somewhat complete inventory I supplied to my insurance (includes cost of trailer and four wheeler) comes out to right at $22k. I am not a happy camper, hell I am not much of a camper without my trailer. As soon as the insurance is settled, I will be ordering another, think I am going 8 wide on the next one. Third times the charm....

Oh man, that sucks. There aren't many things I hate worse than a thief. S.O.B.s

I am so sorry to hear that. That has to be a gut wrenching feeling when you drive up to where it used to be.
