I purchased a 2005 Eagle this spring that did not come pre-wired for a house battery, and (so far) I have not had the truck battery wired to connect to the camper umbilical. I checked with a semi-local vendor and they quoted me about $500-600 to purchase the AGM battery and do the other wiring and install.
We don't have anything that "requires" a battery (no heater, no fantastic fan), it would just be nice to run the house lights, charge some portable devices, run a USB-powered fan, etc. The previous owner gave us a Goal Zero solar panel, so I was wondering if it is possible to instead buy a Goal Zero power station and (somehow) wire that GZ battery into the house lights?
What would it take? Is it possible? Anyone done it before?
