Finally in expo white.
I'm not sure which needs more work, my microsoft paint or my wiring skills.
We're traveling to Alaska in the spring as workcampers and I want to run the generator as little as possible. Biggest electrical load is the furnace blower which is tempature dependant, it draws something like 10 amps when it's running. I've been researching and buying stuff online for months and this is what I came up with. It's still a bit jumbled in my head so I'm explaining my system best I can.
Alright, this is mounted in the front storage compartment of my 2005 30' travel trailer. The batteries are 2 6 volt golf cart batteries mounted on the tongue about 3' away. I drilled a hole in the floor to bring the wires inside to this panel I came up with. There are positive and negative wires going to the 60amp converter approximately 20' back at the electrical panel. The factory used 6 awg cables for this which I assume is pretty underized. I have 4 100w renogy panels that will go on the roof. I plan to run them at 24 volts. I'm not sure I've got the wires on the correct side of the 200amp breaker on the bottom left. My reasoning for the breaker was to be able to disconnect the batteries easily. Should the charge wires from the converter be on their own breaker? Also with the shunt, I'm not sure I've got the cables on the correct side. Solar controller is good for 30 amps the the breaker there is rated for 30 amps. Is 30 amps a good size for my 215ah battery bank?
The small positive wire mark with black goes to the back of the rig somewhere maybe the brakes? It's too wet and muddy for me to want to investigate that.
