    I would swap your Rear Roof Air breaker with your Laundry Refrigerator breaker. Make sure the neutrals for both circuits are not shared with anything else.

    Water heater and microwave and don't forget the battery charger and AC unit on the same phase. Battery charger will reduce its out put if your pass through AC loads need the additional amps. Total connected load on that phase is what you need to figure out not just the inverter charger loads. Do...

    Something to consider before you switch to a 50 amp feed to your charger/inverter is the output breaker size of your generator. Is that 50 amps as well?

    I can say that on my coach, the battery control center was so intertwined with everything that I ended up disconnecting the wires to the relay coil that connects the chassis and coach batteries together for charging. I crimped terminals on each wire so if I ever need to jump start from the...

    What is the amperage rating of your bus bar? Everything that attaches to your positive bus bar should have a fuse (for the most part)so you will need fuse holders for each unless they are part of the bus bar. Jumper cable from the bus bar to the fuse holders will be needed as well. I went with...
