Nice job on the wiring inside the camper. I'm gathering parts to add the auxiliary alternator to my 22 3500HD to charge my lithium's in my RV. Planning on keeping charging circuit isolated from trucks electrical system with second alternator being controlled by a Balmar marine regulator dedicated to charging the RV only. Dealer parts department are zero help to find the parts needed to add the second alternator.
Thanks for the video. Great rig. Nice clean job with the wiring and circuit protection. I'm about to do the same job on my truck and camper and bought the same trolling motor connector because I saw it in a write-up somewhere. I'm worried about the exposed pins on it though. Someone else unplugs it and you'll have an exposed hot pin just waiting to find something metal to short to ground.
Nice set-up. I have a 2005 Northern Lite and plan to add a DC/DC charger. How did you feed the cable from the charger to the battery housing in the camper?
@@jjsoutthere7267I have ran a 4 gauge wire but I am noticing I can pull the 4 gauge wire out with some force. Do you have any tips? Doesn't look like you used ferrules
Listen JJ, you should explain exactly what you're doing. Your work looks great and I understand those around you understand everything you're doing and why, but a layman like me is lost. I assume you want to keep your new batteries charge and I THINK you're wanting the batteries to run the AC , etc. Anyway great video and you do REALLY GOOD work. Thanks for sharing. Bill
Looks great 😊

Best add for a truck camper. Given all the travel and boon docking likely hood super charging with a dc to dc is such a good idea.

That’s why when camper is off I turn off solenoid so cable does not get energized.

I bolted the wires of the Dc/Dc charger to the two parallel wires on the inverter that go over to battery compartment
How thick of wire can the Victron unit accept?
I ran #4 and it just fit. It’s also thin stranded wire so it takes up more room than most #4 wire.

What kind of selinoid is that
It’s a constant duty 250amp solenoid. It could be used for starters and other applications. Not expensive.

The battery and controller upgrades will be coming out soon. That’s when more will be explained. Thanks for the comment.
