So over the past month I have been watching Will's videos and doing my own research here and there. Anyways, I found flaws in my current setup the way it was. First of which was the way the solar panels were hooked up. I found burnt wires because I was using too thin of wire with all the panels in parallel. I have 5x100 watt solar system. I have 3 hooked in series to the 40amp MakeSkyblue MPPT Solar charge controller and then I have 2 hooked in parallel going to a 20 amp PWM charge controller. That is what I came up with after trying several different hook up scenarios. So today I took out the old burnt wire and I rewired the entire solar system front to back with brand new wire. I didnt get pictures but I have the PV wires taped to the side of the RV going to the solar panels nice and neat. Those batteries are 19.2Ahr CompuCaddy Lithium Iron phosphate batteries. I had 10 but one died completely so now its 19.2Ahr x 9 batteries for a total of 172.8Ahr. Its not a bad little system but I am hoping to upgrade some day soon. Anyways, enjoy the pictures and if you have any suggestions, I am all ears. Thanks!
PS. There is normally a recliner in front of the battery box, its just all open because I rewired everything today.
