I need a new charger/convertor for my 5th wheel
the last 2 months i was sick and left it plugged in, and it drained the batterys dry
i have a Thor Tahoe glide lite, its only 30 amp
now the big problem is the are alot of mfg. out there, they all seem to do the same thing anymore, and i dont like burning up 200.00 in batteries , so the main thing is i dont want it to burn batteries, want it to charge the batteries then when its charged it shuts off
and id like to know if there is any solar setup in there or not...
i know i want alot...

I've read that Iota makes a good product. I have no personal experience to offer.

Dean, being in the desert you will have to maintain the water level in the batteries more often, even with a good charging system. Find a three stage charger and you should be good in that area.

Here is the correct wiring to connect your Trojan batteries. To reduce water loss from your batteries, check out Thermoil batteries.

Progressive Dynamics IntelliPower. If you buy the 91XX-series, get the Charge Wizard accessory. The 92XX-series has the Charge Wizard function built in.
