Here is an upgrade for all of your toyhauler folks out there that I think will make a world of difference in your boondocking excursions...

I wanted to post a quick intro to what I have done and then link you to a video I made today - Videos are way better then reading - that I think could help a lot of toyhauler folks out there.

I started by upgrading our Fuzions power converter to a 4 stage 100 Amp Powermax Boondocker (The stock WFCO 100 Amp unit is a real P.O.S.). My family and I do a lot of off the grid camping and we needed something that would help us fully charge and maintain our battery power.

I also added a 12 volt marine starting battery to run along side our two 6 volt batteries where its sole purpose is to start the generator. Our RV came with two 12 volt batteries for both the house power and to start the generator. SO - if you kill the batteries over night, then your jumping them in the morning just to start your genny

Now, some people have done what I have mentioned above. Some folks like myself would get home from a trip and pull that 12 volt starting battery out and charge it on the bench, and some people have installed a small trickle charger to try and keep that starting battery topped up. Where this whole system differs is I have added a battery solenoid that when my two 6 volts reach 13.2V then it kicks on and also applies a charge to my 12V starting battery.

Anyway - please check out the video if you are interested as it paints a better picture then all this typing
