    Rv hook up

    New question if I use a 24 volt battery. Can I hook up a DC to DC converter at the battery for 24 to 12 volt power? Will the leads from the converter be too small to carry the current to the 12dc distribution panel? The all in one 12 volt unit only has a 1k watt inverter. I need about 2000...

    Rv hook up

    How do you power the 12v system if the converter is off? Doesnt the converter have to be connected to the batteries to work? If it doesnt than I should be able to disconnect the battery charging side from the converter and just have the PV charge the batteries correct?? The trailer has a on...

    Rv hook up
