    Yeah. I had a 31' tagalong trailer in the '90s that I lived in for about a year.

    I know you have a converter that provides 12vdc out. I figured you may run the ref off LPG, but wasn't sure. I was just being nosey as to what else would need such large wattage inverters, aside from a microwave. No worries.

    You have an absolutely beautiful view there.

    Do you mean the wires going from the bussbars to the charge controller?
    If so, they are the 2 white ones that go up, I have the Kid mounted above this cubby on my bedroom closet.

    or if you meant 120 volt loads....the cotek has a line running down threw the floor that the trailer shore power plugs into. (I do have the converter disconnected and the fridge set to gas only)

    The larger inverter has a line run to a dedicated plug for the vacuum.

    No worries, the only things I run that use alot of power are usually the microwave.....other then that, I have run my air compressor and saws wile building the skirting.

    LOL, sorry....I didn't catch that, I had the batteries on my table saw in my garage at home wile I made up the cables (and drained a few local brews)

    Once they were in there new home under the trailer I hooked 2/0 wires on opposite strings running up to the bussbars :D
