Friday - Now to start on the “list” for the class C RV. I plan to move some things from the class A such as one lithium battery, solar panels, solar charge controller, and DC-DC charger. I’m still wondering about a charger. I need to open the bench to see what kind of a converter is installed.
I plan on using Unistrut on the roof of the RV. This is what I should have used on the class A. They are available in 10’ lengths in both steel and aluminum.
Saturday - An early morning for me since I volunteered to help in the kitchen for today’s yard sale. I helped with breakfast and lunch and we were done at 1pm.
Yesterday, while cooking, I was running the convection/ microwave, the rice cooker, and the induction cooktop. These circuits all pass through the inverter and unbeknownst to me, the breaker providing shore power to the inverter tripped. This turns off battery charging and when I got up at 5 this morning, the batteries were at 22%. Everything except the A/C units had been running off of the batteries all night. Kind of confusing to me at 5am but I traced it to the inverter breaker within a couple of minutes. After resetting the breaker, everything was back to normal and the batteries were charged up to 100% by 1pm.
An interesting morning but it has caused me to rethink my plan to remove one of the 206ah lithium batteries from the class A and install it into the class C.
Are you thinking that the inverter breaker could happen again when you're not home? I have a firmer idea of where the roof support struts are now on my Class C....even caught myself thinking that permanently mounted solar panels wouldn't be bad. We'll see.
ReplyDeleteProbably not as we don’t draw that much power when we aren’t here. I usually turn down the house battery charger from 100amps to 60amps.
DeleteI’m planning to install unistrut on the roof and move some/all of the panels from the class A to the class C.
