Hello, I am new to the forum.
I have a class B+ motor home Made by R-vision/Trail-lite on a 2003 Chevy Express 2500 chassis.
I added a Ampertime 200 amp self heating battery Li and works fine as is with the RV electrical system.
I then added a Renogy 50 amp DC/DC MPPT charger/Controller to run a 180 watt Bougerv 9BB solar panel and to regulate the charge from the alternator [so it does not burn the Alt up]
I followed the wiring on the Renogy installation video and have the correct wire gauges, fuses etc...
The problem is, that when the controller is connected, power operates the controller and was able to set the battery type, solar is sending power. But the power switch to connect the house battery with the 12V system in the RV will not engage. And power does not appear to be coming from the alternator.
I guess I should add some pictures of my set up, so you can see? Either I have missed something or this unit is defective.
Thanks, Mike
