I have a replacement 45 AMP BoonDocker power supply coming Friday so I needed to get my 4 AWG wiring upgrade finished. Got the battery compartment done and made all the connections to the new power distribution block. Installed a 100 AMP breaker on the main battery power lead. Routed 4 AWG wire to the new Power supply location. Installed contingency wiring for a power inverter. Eliminated about 10 feet of length of wires from what the old arrangement was and is now 4 AWG. There are a few more associated projects to complete before I have the TC the way I want it.

Sounds great. The 4-AWG will serve you well.

The Trimetric is on the wish list. More important items first like a second solar panel.

Put battery watering caps on the Group 27 Deep cycle under the hood of the truck and topped up the water in all the batteries.

Enjoying my new second set of Wobbl-Stoppers with the high winds blowing through and the camper not moving a budge.

Washed, waxed, cleaned interior, on our "new to us" 1999 Lance 820. Still have a lot to do to it before it is useable, but this is my first truck camper. Thanks Dan - you know why,
