Happy trials!
Works like a champ! I had 2 100 watt polycrystalline panels added and I added 2 more house batteries!

Keeps all my batteries charged up including the engine battery.
keeps my frig running 24/7

Just did a week in outer banks in Ocracoke without any hookups.
We only ran generator in the morning and evening to charge up the APC that runs cat turd robot and to top off batteries.

It ran the frig, lights, fans and pumps entire week.

We did have perfect week of blue sky!

bought panels off Amazon.

Solar Prep

Wired a 9V battery to the Red and White wires on the roof, tested the Orange and White wires in the rats nest under the bed, and WELLA! 9V!!!

Installed 2X100W panels, a MPPT 40A controller for future panel expansion to 5X100W, my two factory installed dual purpose 750A lead acid took a crap, so I replaced those with a 200Ah Lithium.

Everything is working GREAT!

Thank you for the help!
