You might be interested in what I did for a second battery and switch. I use the portable panel set up on the lawn to keep the batteries charged all winter. But, I have my Pod here at my home rather at a storage place as you do. I'd be concerned that my solar panel would "disappear" if left unattended. http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9728&KW=&PID=91400&title=rpod-177-battery-box-mod#91400 |

Do you know what the label "MP" means on circuit 1 on the battery side of the electrical panel? This is a 2015 R Pod 178.

I plan on adding a second battery. When I do that I think I'll add the switch. Right now I put the Pod in a storage area here where I live and take the battery to the house. A pain in the butt that would be multiplied with 2 batteries.

The main reason why I installed a master switch on the battery box. 1/4 turn and the batteries can no longer be drained. I didn't like the idea of having to kneel down, open an access panel, switch off a master switch, close the panel and then do the reverse when I needed to turn the 12VDC back on.
I simply go to the Pod's tongue and rotate one switch. |

Point made! On mine the labels do not line up horizontally with the fuses, but they are in the correct order. You have to count down from the top to determine what the fifth fuse down does, etc.

They may not be the same as other 2103 Rp-172s. Two factories and different build cycles. Case in point all of the labels on my fuse panel are wrong. Apparently the labels are only a suggestion that the workers in the factory may choose to ignore if they so choose.
