So seems everyone says to upgrade stock fwc truck to camper battery wire connection to a bigger gauge. If I did this do i need to add something else or is it a simple remove an replace.???
Just clarify, does the breaker in the camper sit before the dc dc converter or between the dc dc converter and the camper battery?TacomaAustin said:Due to the installation of 30 amp DC-DC charger in my camper, I upgraded the wiring to the front of my truck to AWG #6 gauge.
An important add-on was the install of a Blue Sea 40 amp breaker that is mounted 1 foot away from my truck's battery. I also have a redundant 40 amp fuse on the other end of the long cable run, just before it connects to the 30 amp DC-DC charger.
The Blue Sea circuit breaker allows me to disconnect the long 15 foot cable run to the camper from the truck battery. The fuse is there because it was on the schematic drawing in the charger's user manual.
The 50 amp Blue Sea circuit breaker is in my truck's engine compartment about 14 feet before the cable reaches my 30 amp DC-DC charger that is mounted in the camper. I already had the breaker from a previous project.Defulmmt said:Just clarify, does the breaker in the camper sit before the dc dc converter or between the dc dc converter and the camper battery?
Got it!Vic Harder said:TA, I think he already had that breaker in his plans/layout. He was just asking about an additional one at the DCDC end.
