    Charge controllers

    Yes I agree, I don't want to have to buy things twice.. and I certainly have taken your advice.. I looked at those controllers you mentioned in your break down.. and I didn't see where they had much of a customer service here in the USA..  Bcause I am such a novice with this, I would like some...

    Cheers everyone.. first time out after my build

    You know it's funny that you mention that product has mint.. I have heard that mint is a natural insect repellent.. so there is a health food store in the area that I am in.. when I was talking to the ladies in there they said the same thing..  Bit also that there are several essential oils...

    Cheers everyone.. first time out after my build

    Oh and after my first night, I definitely need to reorganize things.. and most likely I will look for a rooftop carrier.. the only problem with that is it will take up solar panel space.. unless there is a possibility of attaching a panel to the carrier..

    Charge controllers

    Yes I agree with you on the wiring, and I have planned out were everything will be going.  I don't know a lot about electrical things.  But I do know I don't want to undersize my wiring.  And I don't believe I have to this point.. and I will be adding fuses before I go much further.. especially...

    Charge controllers

    @JiminDenver My plan is to add a solar panel and another 100AH AGM I would imagine the Victron Charger Controller your talking about will be fine with the future plans of my system.. And yes of course you are correct, I will add another solar panel.. once I get the full system, I really feel...

    I know guys, not sure what I was thinking when I posted the question. In fact I don't believe it was the question I was trying to ask. My mind must have been mush at the time... Basically, I have some large purchases I need to make. And just trying to figure out which ones to purchase first...
