    Would these guys work?
  • Post in thread: Newbie here!

    Hi, all! I'm from Canada, and I've been watching YouTube and reading and I think I have just enough info to be dangerous, so I figured I'd bounce things off folks here. I purchased the 200w Solar RV kit from Renogy, a 100ah Lithium battery, a 20a DC-DC charger, and a 1000w pure sine inverter...

    Hey all! I'm doing a camper conversion on a Dodge Promaster 3500, and I've done a bit of reading and put together this wiring diagram. (Sorry for the poor quality.) The components are: 2x100W Renogy solar panels 30a Renogy Adventurer PWM Charge Controller 20a Renogy DC-DC Charger 1000w...

    Excellent advice, thank you! I've actually put my first wiring diagram up already if you have any input.
  • Post in thread: Rate my setup please!

    Excellent notes and very fast response, much appreciated! I'd totally mixed up the manufacturer recommendations for which fuse goes where - got the one between the panel and the SCC and the one that goes between SCC and battery backwards. Regarding the breaker switch for the panels - any...

    I do actually have a pair of mc4 connectors, my diagram is just crappy. (I mocked it up quickly to post on here for critiques). Another user pointed that out - I'd mixed up the manufacturer recommendations. Is this a "things go really, terribly wrong" contingency? I'm definitely looking to...

    Awesome, I'll look into one of those. Thanks!
  • Post in thread: Rate my setup please!

    That makes sense. I'm sure they didn't and I just misinterpreted it. That was my understanding, but I appreciate the confirmation. This has been wildly helpful. Went from feeling like I was just leaping out into the dark to feeling the first glint of understanding.

    Again, wildly helpful. Thank you!

    Other than the convenience factor, would there be any issue with using an inline fuse holder and just pulling the fuse if I need to work on it?

    Hey all! I'm converting a campervan, and I have 2 100w solar panels feeding into a 100ah lithium battery. It's powering very few 12v appliances (some 12v sockets, led lights, and a low amp vent fan) and a 1000w inverter (that will be used seldomly to charge our laptops, maybe run some hair...

    That's the one!

    I was hoping to avoid it if possible (more holes in my van), but if this system isn't the bullseye I was hoping for then I will. I did notice that. Care to elaborate? Thanks for responding btw!
  • Post in thread: Rate my setup please! (Mark II)

    Hey all, I'm back! I'm converting a Ram Promaster into a campervan with a solar setup, and looking for some input on my latest wiring diagram. After getting some great feedback from MisterSandals, rmaddy, and FilterGuy, I've revamped my wiring diagram from THIS thread. (See that thread for the...
