Hi all,
Am getting ready to head out prospecting once more and have re-organised my Troopy layout (again!)

I have a dual battery set-up in the engineroom, with a HD lead running aft and connected to a 20w Solar Panel regulator mounted on the front passengers seat pillar.

I have just re-located my 1200w inverter from it's original (rear) location - connected directly to the auxilliary battery - now to alongside the panel regulator.

My intention was to then connect the inverter direct to the panel regulator, with short leads to the load terminals of the regulator ...... but only when needed.

Haven't physically yet connected the two together ....... as last night, running it through my brain cell ....... normally I would only use the inverter at night, camped, which means, of course, no sun ... ergo : the inverter is really running of the auxilliary battery THROUGH THE PANEL REGULATOR ... and not directly off the battery.

Is this proper and safe and efficient ... or should I re-think and again re-connect the inverter DIRECT to the auxilliary battery ???

Your help would be much appreciated .......... thanks.
