Well said, yes hard way to learn, always scared of this happening, your awesome for owning your mistakes and sharing for others to see as I always think of this happening, lucky it burnt off the cable and burn out instead of burning you very nice trailer to the ground or any other exposures, I just recently put a similar system in my RV, however I am running 12vdc. I run my house on a 48vdc system for a few years now. Again thank you for sharing, going to watch 5 now.
Yes finding the damage was sickening to me but we were very lucky. That compartment is also right in the middle of both full propane tanks! I'm not an electrician and far from perfect but eager to try things. Hopefully me publicly screwing this up will help someone else.

Use a victron dc to dc converter with fuses
The benefit is curent limiting
Orion-Tr Smart DC-DC Charger Isolated
Stay tuned...
Fuses, fuses, fuses…. Every single positive wire to every device should be fused. All the wires to the bus bar should have fuses.
Spent a few nights awake thinking about all the "should haves" and ""what ifs" and fuses would have definitely helped. Hard lesson.
@@Interstate78-qu2dw also should have a breaker on both positive and negative line between solar panels and MPPT controller. Safety first 👍
@@saltytrips I didn't bother with the neg side but i do have extra fuses so maybe i'll do that
no sound dude?
Strange. The audio is working on mine. Maybe it wasn't done uploading?
