Re: [A/S] 65 amp in tow vehicle; two small??

Jack,
 Ad Daisy pointed out, unless you run HEAVY wires (as in #4 welding cable)
from the truck battery/isolator to the trailer, you're not going to get much
charging anyway. I dry camped over the past w/e, running the furnace quite a
bit, so the batteries were hit fairly hard. There wasn't a lot of sun, so
the solar panels didn't do much, either. When I hooked up to leave, I looked
at the eMeter and found the charging rate to be <5 amps. That's through a
relay isolator and the standard trailer wiring.

To repeat Daisy's advice: make up a worksheet so you know exactly how much
power you need, then buy the solar panels that are called for. A pair of GC
batteries will do great.
