[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 653829, member: 1414"] Simmo, Been a many years since I set this system up in my MQ and then 2002 GU Nissan that has preformed faultlessly, please go easy on me if there are a few glitches in explanation. 1: Ignition/Engine on and both batteries charging. 2: Engine/ignition off, starting battery isolated from auxiliary battery and fridge battery with a solenoid. 3: In the event of flattening starting battery can flick switch to the solenoid powered by the auxiliary battery connecting auxiliary to starting battery. 4: Auxiliary battery and fridge battery are isolated with a separate solenoid, once again there is a switch so they can be connected when ever necessary. 5: 200W solar also charges fridge battery 6: Heavy cable runs from auxiliary battery to caravan batteries connected at hitch with Anderson plugs. Cable is fused both ends. Ute alternator charges while mobile. 7: Caravan has solar power to batteries. Batteries can be charged, 12V, Solar & 240V. Foods cold/frozen and beers chilled. Happy prospectors. [/QUOTE]
