Yes that is what it calls for, but it seemed small to me also, so I'll likely upsize it to 1awg or 0/1. I was leaning toward 2/0 for the battery connections, so thanks for confirming that. I'll make all of my own custom cables, but appreciate to supplier link. Still unclear as to fusing...

Preparing for stage 1 of our electrical upgrades. I'll be replacing the single deep cycle 12v battery that came from the dealer with 4 - 6v Interstate 105 (made by Trojan) and adding a 1500 w inverter. Where and what size should I fuse it at? It will be wired in Series/Parallel to achieve 12v...

^^This^^ A pair of Trojan 6v T105s fit the bill for me. Next decision is which solar system will work best for us.

Exactly, on both counts. According the gent at Battery Giant, Trojans are the golf cart industry standard. Deep cycle is what they do, no starter batteries. A lot of other "name brands" are actually just leased labels on the actual makers product. Interstate, Duracell, etc. are examples of that...

Yes Bob,the back and forth was informative but kind of over my head. I'm thrilled that it led to a good deal of a battery that works for you. I was getting almost to the point of information overload, but it made me think it through and a link in the later replies to some local Craigslist  ads...

Now there's information I can really use! The 1st listing in Gilbert is less than 2 miles from here. I'll be checking all of these out. Thank you, very much.

Another option I am wondering about is this one from Renogy: https://www.amazon.com/Renogy-Battery-Marine-Off-grid-Applications/dp/B075RGX1WR/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1512749633&sr=8-11&keywords=12+volt+agm+deep+cycle+battery I am wondering if anyone has experience with Renogy's batteries. Bob...

Oh my! I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by information overload. I deeply appreciate all of the diverse data and opinions of how to go. I'll reread it again (and probably again and again, *lol*) and go from there. I did go to my RV and pull the original, bring it home, 2 amp trickle charged it for...

Also got "content not available at this time" FB message.

Great suggestions and info from all. This place is so awesome. Almost There, that makes better sense. I'll be heading partway in that direction tomorrow to get my wife's car serviced. I already have a 120 v charger/50 amp booster/ 2 amp trickle charger to hook it up to, here. What testing is...

Almost There, not what I was hoping to hear, but I'd rather have the straight scoop. perhaps a single of these and a gen that can become a back-up source would be a better idea. My camper is in storage along with the literature that came with it, so exactly what battery is there now is unknown...

Welcome YukonHo! Very nice rig. I have a Yukon myself, and absolutely love it. Using mine as a tow vehicle, but I like how you've made your home in it. Gives me a fallback plan.

Thanks Mpruet. Definitely food for thought. Not sure if your sort of compromise would be financially feasible for us. A big part of what I am seeking, is the freedom from, as Jackson Browne so eloquently put it, "the struggle for the legal tender." I don't remember a time in my life, when I...

I'm very much at the beginning of setting my 26' KV Sportsman TT up to be an off grid home. I thought a good starting place might be a battery upgrade. I am looking a starting with a pair of: Universal UB121000-45978 12v 100AH Deep Cycle AGM Battery 12V 24V 48V(Black)...

Thanks Bob. Beyond my changing view of what's important in life, we have a fairly decent relationship. That actually makes this transition more difficult. I crave simplicity and downsizing. In this last year, I was given an important life lesson when I made the decision to sell our home in...

Hi Whit and welcome. I'd be interested in how you progress getting your wife on board with going full time. For me, right now, that's my biggest road block. We seem to reach an impasse when I even tried to start a reasoned discussion about it.

Bluewolf, no need for a mortgage at all. Took some of the proceeds from the sale of the house and bought a 26' KV Sportsman travel trailer outright. With a few upgrades, mainly a solar set up, it could be my home. I want no mortgage, (or rent) ever again.

Trailsailor, I'm in a very similar situation. She does and has have the higher income, and it appears that she thinks it gives her final say. While contribution isn't as much financially, my "sweat equity" has always been many times what hers was. Funny thing being is that her big bucks job that...

I understand that fear very well. I've only recently found Bob's vids and this forum. I have promised myself to make it to at least some of the RTR, even if I have to do it in my tow SUV only. Perhaps I'll see you there.

Without getting too much into the personal, there's more to where I find myself (mentally) because of some other actions by my wife. I think I deserve to be treated better, I thought I was a partner in this, but after being basically shut down by her on everything I was trying to convey about...
