Hello, We purchased a toy hauler for our motorcycles and would like to upgrade the electrics to include 300 watts of solar. We have a 3500 watt generator/ inveretor that we use for about 1/2 hour in the morning and 1 hour night. My questions center on upgrading the system so we can run our 12 volt propane refrigerator, radio, charge the laptop via 12v power, 12 volt tv and ocassional water pump.
Our toy hauler has room for two Group 27 AGM batteries and we are thinking about running them in parallel. Now the questions:
1. Does one charge the two batteries as one?
2. During generator operation do you charge the batteries even though the generator will only run for 1/2 hour?
3. Is there an integrated charge controller for both 120AC and solar DC?
4. Do you discard the toy hauler charger?
5. Do battery monitors read amp-hours and voltage?
The answers to these questions will help be continue my research.
Thank you
