Hello, newcomer to RV and solar here.
I Have a 2017 Thor Ace Class A that I will be installing solar in using the following:
-Growwatt 24V 3000w
-16 280ah Cells DIY batteries in a 8s2p for a total of 560ah at 24v.
-Victron Orion 24v to 12v 70A and 85A Max step down converter.
The issue I'm having is that the leveling jacks are currently wired directly to the stock house batteries which are 12v and i don't think the step down converter on the 24v setup would be able to handle the load since they pull up to 160 amps at times.
Is it recommended that I wire the leveling jacks to the chasis battery directly and just run every other 12v load through the step down converter?
Thanks in advance for the help.
