Be sure to search under the "Electrical" part of the forums and see what kind of converter/charger you have. It's not likely a very good one, single stage set too low for your batteries.  I'm not familiar with linking to other threads but this topic discusses some of your needs:  https://vanlivingforum.com/Thread-T-105-RE-s-Iota-converter

Good luck, read up some and follow the advice of the experienced posters who respond to you (uhh, that's not me but read up anyway).

Maybe my questions are mute. Won't take it personal, best wishes to get your solar going. I'm out.

I am sorry you were offended, I was not sure how to answer your questions

Granted this is a link to a Transit site, but they have all sorts of ideas and information regarding builds, including pop ups and solar! http://www.fordtransitusaforum.com/forumindex.php

Depends on if you are running 12 volt dc appliance or regular household appliance 110-120 volts, If they are household appliances you will a dc to ac inverter and the batteries will hook up directly to the inverter. Here is a link http://www.dcacpowerinverters.com/ the best typ is the pure sine ones.

we got it all set up, lights and water pump work but now the outlets don't work, not sure why. Here's what we have. 2 100 watt solar panels connected to a wanderer charge control which is connected to the batteries, wired in series, then we have the existing battery wires wired to the batter. switch inside camper is set for battery :huh:

we have got everything working, I have one more question, how can I tell how much battery i have left?
