Thanks Kevin

connect the panel to a solar controller, then the controller to the battery, simples

We have a Sargent unit that states on it that it has a 'built in dual channel solar regulator for direct solar panel connection'. I was wondering how that can be connected to a solar panel so I will be following this
I must ask why anyone would take the trouble to get good quality solar cable then feed it into a built in regulator to pass on via damp string and printed circuits to your battery.We have a Sargent unit that states on it that it has a 'built in dual channel solar regulator for direct solar panel connection'.

Cut out the crap and go direct to battery via a "proper" regulator man enough for the job

Simples but TOTALLY WRONG. Learn from JJ or destroy the battery.
Thanks for the abrupt reply

Hi Kevin, probably best to bolt it securely to the roof?!Hi can any one tell me how to connect my solar panel to my pioneer renoir motorhome .

Cant believe I'm wasting time on this thread
Just read Jims post about his daughter, puts things into perspective some what
Blunt and to the point.......You are so right. I'm sorry for being so blunt.

Is that an oxymoron ?
The reason the batteries should be connected first is so that a regulator that can charge both 12 and 24 V set ups, knows which voltage set up you have.Regardless. No current flows until the circuit is complete. So whether it connects the controller to the Panel or the controller to the Battery, there is no current flow until the last connection is made.
However, best advice would be to make the supply (panel) the last connection, and preferably the negative feed.
Geo`s advice to ignore the Sargent, and go direct with a decent solar controller with the capacity to manage the panel output would be the better approach, Voltage drop in cable is anathema when using low voltages!. (a load of 1A drops 0.0083V per M run @12v Nom) on 4mmsq cable.
