Re: Charging boat while on the highway.
Wow alot of input, thanks.
The reason for wanting to charge the boats house batts / keep the fridge always on is because we will use the boat as our camper and use truck stops for rest time. This will be often, (min 5 days and could be twice as much depending on weather and our 3 yr old) as we are only allowed to tow from sunrise to sunset because of the "wide load" restrictions.
Once dark (Sunset around 5pm) will want to use the lights and stuff before bed time.
The boat already has 2, size 27 dedicated house batteries, a built in charger and can easily run the fridges 12 HRS. But since we will not expect to be plugging in anywhere along the way we need additional power.
I seen your ARC answer and JUST erased the options I was considering as this sounds best.
Thanks Bruce.
I guess it doesn't make any difference which one to hook upto since the truck and the boats 2 batteries are connected in parallel.
And the plan will be the 30amp/ 10g - thanks Bondo
