Re: Dual Battery Installation Write-Up - Pics

Congratulations on finishing the installation and I'm glad the fuse block location worked for you. I did have a bit of a problem removing the cover from the fuse panel this past weekend as the bottom of the fuse block is resting on the white plastic parts. I decided to flatten the bottom left side (if your looking at the fuse panel) retaining tab on the fuse panel cover so it would slide off a little easier. I just removed the small raised area on the tab that snaps into the fuse block itself. Works fine now. I like the solar panel idea. Pretty cool feature.

I finished my install Sunday and used your step by steps on the fuse box location. Worked perfect...I even printed the picture and sat under there in that tight space and made it look identical as I compared the two. Your right, pleanty of room. I got my extra 12V outlets in the back now swung over to a new wire on the fuse block and my fridge is purring happy.

Now as soon as the Bandi Mounts are ready, I can do my CB install and I'll have easy power access now.

The unit I used allows me some flexibility in that it has some smarts in it. I can plug into an aux battery powered power port a solar panel which will charge the Aux Battery, once full, it will actually charge to the main battery so I can do some extended camping w/o having to run the engine to charge up.
