road turtle Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 It looks like that pin is protected by 30a fuse. Does that mean the trailer batteries will see 30a? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyAssault Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 30A is an output limit. Your batteries would "need" 30A to see 30A at the plug. So if your system was just topping off the trailer batteries there could be 1A at the plug. Follow what I'm getting at?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compounding my issue is the solar panels always charging during the day too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of the way the factory did the wiring, I really don't have a choice to limit charging solutions. I'm going to work this winter on understanding how victron equipment may help me sort this mess out. Since I have since set up to feed the entire trailer off of the inverter, I did install a switch to turn off the 120V charger when boon docking. Haven't gone boon docking yet to see how the 200ah in Lithium is going to support overnight or multiple overnight stops with solar and truck charging.
