Oh, one more question; what gauge would be best? 0? 1/0? 2/0?

SternWake, thank you again!! I will order from them. It also just happens that you answered another question I had. As you see in the picture the Lifeline batteries have different thickness terminals; When I place the order, should I have the cable go straight to the battery like this, Or make...

SternWake, thank you! Great help. Would one of those cables auto parts stores have to connect batteries be good? I saw some yesterday, and some were as low as 1 gauge.

And another stupid question: what keeps the cable secured to the battery? Since some connections all they have is a ring at the end?

Also, what gauge wire should I use to connect the two batteries together? I'm assuming since I only have two batteries that I'm going straight positive to positive and neg to neg?

Got the solar panel but need help. The panel came a little bent, but NAWS guy called Kyocera and they said as long as it has power it should be fine. Nothing is cracked. Just bent as the picture shows. My question is; how do I set up the multimeter correctly? Thanks!

Thanks Bob! Not sure I'll need 12 but the price difference is minimum so why not. [emoji106]

What's the difference between having the negative "parked" in the same bus versus a different bus? Thanks!

To connect lights, refrigerator and other things to the battery should I use something like this;

Bob, you're accusing me wrongly...here's the guy with the locusts! [emoji115][emoji23][emoji23]

I'm completely locust free! I am, really! I'll even buy whoever comes half a sandwich for their hard work. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji106][emoji106] I think I can do it. Dave also said I could give him a call. [emoji1][emoji106][emoji604][emoji295]️[emoji336][emoji335][emoji362]

Do I dare ask how much shipping was on that monster panel? Bob [emoji40] I'm not saying... I could have bought another panel Bob. $300 and some. Everything else about $30. It is what it is, and it's done now. I didn't find any place near me. Now, Bob, I will need you to stop all you're doing...

As for batteries, I'm going with about 225 amps from Lifeline. Bob, I told Dave you recomended me and he said; "Bob Who?" Actually he knew you right away. Thanks.

Got the solar kit from NAWS, and picked Dave's brain till he was ready to puke. [emoji13][emoji40] The solar panel I wanted was the 325 watt, and they had a kit with pretty much everything I was going to buy, except the digital display; $118 extra. Here's what I got, feel free to opine.

For the Swiss cheese plywood? 2 1/2 inch hole saw, I believe. It doesn't really matter that much. You can use whatever you have on hand. But too big could cause the plywood to brake, and too small may not ventilate well enough. [emoji106][emoji4]

So...making final solar set up list. The things I think I need; Solar panel. [emoji736] AGM batteries. [emoji736] MPPT charge controller. [emoji736] Cables. [emoji736] Fuses. [emoji736] Is it possible for at least one of you to draw me something like this... ...that actually works and not...

I've decided to increase ventilation in the van. Living in places where somebody can park next to me when I'm sleeping, made me opt for roof vents instead of floor vents. The last thing I need is someone else's exhaust coming in the van while I sleep. Bought two VentLine VanAir vents that...

You're very thorough, thank you! Looks like (if I understood you correctly) I'll be going with two 12v batteries. If I get the 330w panel, I'll get two 115amp batteries. [emoji106][emoji106]

It's not hard. It's even easier when one doesn't have to use chisel and hammer to engrave such pictures. Nowadays HD quality pictures float through the air waiting to be captured by the latest high IQ Phone. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji106][emoji604]
