>TOMB... Took me a couple seconds to figure that out.
Don't know where I came up with the 9.7V Musta had my head where the sun don't shine.
I took the BM off 4 hours ago and it still shows 12.75V.
I will try running without the truck hooked up, one day off and one day on the next trip to see what Mr. Bogart says.
Just fired up the 5er to see what it draws overnight with the fridge, propane and CO2 sensors running. It shows -.42 right now. I just found out that the propane water heater draws ~.60A when fired up. I only use it just before a shower, and don't know what it draws after the water is hot. This is not a good test as I use the inverter and TV for several hours during the day and evening/night.
If the panels put out ~4A during the day, the batteries should be charged when the sun goes down and should also keep the truck batteries charged. There have been times when the trailer battery test panel showed a full charge with the array and truck connected.
Here's a trick I recently learned. If you have some old glasses with fine scratches, Pledge them. I tried it on some I use in the shop and the scratches all but disappeared. Wouldn't this also improve the insolation on a PV panel? Try it on some old glasses and try to tell me it doesn't help.
