Cody91-  where'd you find that net?   Only ones I've been able to find are either only 4 ft wide or way too wide....
TIA!

Budward,
 
I had trouble finding a net at local suppliers too.  I finally found this place online called Organized Obie.  They make netting solutions for RVs.
 
Here's the link.
 
 
Good luck,

I just finished adding a 2nd battery....

I used a Marine cutoff switch mounted directly to the Battery box.

I can now isolate the battery from the camper at anytime.,But retained a permanent connection to the Zamp port so I can charge from the Solar panel at any time regardless of cutoff switch position.

Also enables me to be plugged in to shore power any length of time without fear of over charging the batteries or boiling them to bits  Big smile

Plus I added a steel cable and lock to keep honest people honest....

No worries about the converter overcharging, it is a proper 3-stage charger.  Also if those batteries are two 120 volt batts, you'll get more total amperage by always charging and using them together instead of one at a time.  Look up Peukert Effect for techie info.

Thanks for the heads up on the converter charger.

Yeah both batteries are hooked together for use. Together also for charging,by either Solar or Convertor and of course while driving down the  road.

Double the available amps,both are 12V,should keep good for days dry camping!
