hi people new motorhomer here.
my motorhome has a 85ah battery under the bonnet to power lights and pump inside. i have purchased a 185w 20a solar panel. i was hoping to get a set up with seperate set up to the existing already there so its less messing. i have purchased 2 x 12v 130ah leisure batteries a 4000w inverter 24v. i have had a scan around the forum but cant quite understand the set up i need to do.
the one im thinking is to lign the 2 x 12v batteries in series + to - and use the + and - left on each to power the inverter. then connect the solar panel same to either end of each battery. all the set up im after is to have it to power appliances such as tv/sky box microwave and maybe portable oven and charging phones ect obviously not all at same time.
can any one see any obvious things ive missed. i wouldn't mind also having a set up to alternator to do a charge whist the solar weather isnt up to it haha
thanks in advance
