The negative was definitely the culprit. I moved it over to the negative buss and everything is working as it should. Not a lot of current as the battery is now well and truly charged but it is reading in the right direction. I just couldn’t wait until tomorrow. Now it’s definitely four...

Sorry for that it didn’t seem to be sent.

Hi Rando. Good work I think you have it nailed with the negative leads. In my quest for a clean installation I’m thinking I have somehow bypassed the shunt with the negative going back to the truck. The big lugs on the #2 wire didn’t fit nicely on the negative buss so I joined them very neatly...

Help!!! I just put the camper on and ran the heater all night. It worked great, 25 ah consumed in 14 hours. So 80% remaining. I started the truck and went for a drive. Sure enough it said 78% remaining. Huh? Looking at the monitor with the truck running I am showing negative amps at 14.8...

Hi everyone. So the Anderson connectors finally showed up and both the truck and camper are now fully wired.. This is what I finally ended up with: #2 awg wire from truck to camper via 120 amp Anderson’s in the truck box. Blue sea 50 amp breaker under the hood. Renogy 30 amp DC to DC charger...

Hey thanks for that. I’m going to do a very similar installation in my truck. I’m still waiting for the Anderson connectors to show up but most of the hard work has been done inside the camper. The DC DC charger, shunt, and fuse block are all mounted as is the new battery box and the 125 ah AGM...

Thanks Jon. I ordered the SB 120 connectors. They fit the #2 wire. Both the wire and the connectors are going to be ridiculously oversized for the installation as it is now but seeing as the wire was already here it seemed like an easy choice. If I do decide to upgrade to the lithium batteries...

Thank you Paul and Vic. That makes sense now with the breakers. Yes two batteries with ample opportunities to raise havoc. I’ll check the Anderson site this evening. I’m just making a small electrical panel out of laminated arborite that will house the water pump panel, new USB chargers, energy...

Hi everyone. I’m new to the forum and new campers as well but I’ve got a fair bit of experience with boat wiring. Firstly a big thanks to Vic and all the other contributors for their work as well as thoughtful and honest discussion. I’m going to upgrade the charging system of my truck and...
