Hello,
So I am going to a site in a few weeks that is completely without any hookups. I have a nice 2000 watt inverter generator that I'm planning to bring, along with a solar setup (2 x 100w panels with a 120ah AGM deep cycle battery).
In my old popup I was able to go pretty much indefinitely with just the battery and solar since just about everything but the lights and the couple 12v fans I had ran on propane. I'm expecting similar with the TT, but what I'm not so sure about is having multiple items charging the battery at the same time and how that will effect everything.
So first thing, I know that the TT itself will trickle charge the battery when it is on shore/generator power. If I have that hooked up at the same time I have my solar panels plugged in, will that effect the system at all?
Also, since the TT only trickle charges the battery, can I plug in my actual battery charger to the battery and hook it to the generator as well as having it connected to the RV while running the genny? The could potentially mean the battery will be getting power from the TT, from the battery charger connected to the generator and the solar panel.
My goal is to be able to set everything up once and not have to connect/disconnect wires depending on what I have running.
Thanks in advance for any assistance
