Thank you Bob. Your assessment was right on. I read your post late last night and was able to put it together today. I found the 2 guage cable at Advance Auto Parts.

All works well now.

I guess by using two 12v instead of two 6v, I have, in effect, increased my capacity. If I'm boondocking on a cold night, the batteries may make it through the night with the furnace running. Stayed in Quartzsite a couple of years ago on BLM land. No generator allowed after 10:00 p.m. so I had to get up at 6:00 each morning to start the generator to keep the furnace running. Kinda spoiled the whole boondocking experience.

Thanks to you too Ron for the web info. Looks like some interesting reading.

A special thanks to both of you for the quick responses and very helpful info. I'm going to keep this forum bookmarked. Hope I can return the favor some day.

Mike
