In the interim for Camping capacity , I bought a National Luna kitted Box with a 110 Amp Battery. When in camping site with Elec I charge off mains and run NL fridge 24/7. When parked at other Camps I used a new 2 x 100 Watt Solar with MPPT .
This was and is temporary until I can get Auxiliaries up and running !
I bought a offroad Camper/Caravan , a Jurgens Xcape and it is working very ( second hand from original Owner.
It comes with a rudimentary inhouse electrical system Nomad 200, including one Batt. of doubt ful life. It has a control board which distributes 220V to circuit and powers Water Heater, 3 point sockets, a 20 Amp 3 stage charger.(make unknow) and of course provides full Electrical support when camping.
Of course with my recovery we have taken 2 reasonable travel programs with Mc Carthy Off Road Club. that was great because we had help available if necessary.
So now my system will look like this:
Crank/Starting Battery 70 Amp, 1 NL fitted Box , normally used by connecting to Crank Batt. or Alternator. This Battery is for rear of Prado for Fridge etc when going on short trips. Xcape, here I am planning 2 x Deep Cycle Batteries in parallel.
They need to be charging while driving and supplemented in Camp Elec. or Solar or both.
How would you design Charging system
Alternator ( relay), 1 NL 105 A/H heavy duty Hi/Deep Cycle design, with own output points .
2 Deep Cycle Batt.'s in parallel 2x 105 A/H. Control Panel in Xcape. and 1 500 pure sine Meanwell Alternator with Solar Input to charge by reverse . It is not to use this above e.g. 750 Watts.
And of course Ctek 250S ! No Smartpass-Not Recommended by Ctek
