    First time on this forum. I have a 5th wheel RV. I am replacing my 315ah battery bank with 3 100 ah BB batteries. I think my present setup is not good. I have 720 watts of solar on the roof going to a breaker switch and then into my Victron 100/50 solar charger and a 60 amp fuse between...

    So no one on this forum wants to help me, I must say that is pitiful. I thought the purpose with forums is helping each other. I guess I was wrong. SAD

    Thanks for your response Hedgdes, Yes It is a class T fuse. I would save some money doing what you said, I thought about it but if something got wrong with those solar cells, you would have to send them back to China for warranty. I rather go with Battleborn which is an American company. I...

    Ok, thanks FilterGuy. I guess I use a busbar where all my positives come in. I don't like them all coming to the positive battery terminal. Yeah, I bet you wished you bought some land at that time, you would be super rich now. Lol

    Yes, my first thoughts was to separate the charging path from the load path. I was going to run the inverter cable from the battery to the fuse and then into the inverter. Then I saw the solar blueprint on this website for the 400 classic solar package That showed a shared path for the charging...

    Thanks jwelter99, My thinking was at a later time I would upgrade my 2000 watt inverter with a 3000 watt inverter so I would not have to put in a larger fuse at that time. Will a 400 amp T-fuse do damage to my system by being oversized? I am buying 3 100 watts BBB . I told them my inverter...

    Hedges I agree what you said, but I didnt pay $2700 but considerbly less. Low $ 800 on each battery. The problem I had doing what you said, first I am not a handyman type of guy. Second I live in my trailer 8 months a year, and thinking later about living full time in my trailer. I need...

    Ok, I got the input from you all that my T-400 fuse is to large, I will change it out for a 250 amp fuse. Thanks to all of you for pointing that out.
