Once upon a simpler time, an RVer decided to increase the capacity of her inverter to allow her to run more office equipment.
This RVer went out and got a great deal on a higher capacity inverter and she was happy.
And then this RVer started to read about the installation of higher capacity inverters and realised she needed much heavier gauge cabling than she thought.
Much heavier gauge cabling in the needed lengths meant making her cables.
Making her own cables meant needing lugs and a crimping tool.
The bigger capacity inverter also meant needing to add a high amperage fuse to her system.
And once the RVer made a shopping list, she realised that there was no way to one-stop shop for everything.
And then her woefully inadequate battery bank space began to eat at her. How could she properly wire her solar panels, inverter, and battery monitors to the bank in a space too small to work in? Would she have to move the battery bank?
All the RVer wanted was a larger capacity inverter…
Oh Rae, don’t leave us hanging… so, what’d ch’ya do? The suspense is killing me. It all sounds wonderful.
You & your mom are so inspirational!

I haven’t done anything yet! I’m still in the research, design, and shopping phase! 🙂
(This is one project where I am on my own as my mother has only a very basic understanding of 12V systems. She’ll help me on the 12oV side.)
My Batteries are in a tight compartment and I found these battery water fillers that work great and it is easy to add water to the battery keeping them happy and extending their life.

Kevin, that system looks similar to the one at Camping World. Glad to know that it works well in a tight compartment.
