This switch should be sized larger enough to carry the maximum amount of amps and voltage your particular solar array can produce.

Also it would be nice to turn off the solar juice in the winter when i pull the battery s and take them home for storage.
I m thinking that i don t want my battery s always connected to the solar panel while the trailer is in storage.
Spotting the switch in the rv is quite easy.

Leaving alone without regular charging will damage even the best rv battery.
I pull the main battery disconnect switch so the trailer isn t drawing power while setting.
