The car could be wired to it if required. I'm only using the 250s dual for solar regulator. I only fitted the guages cause I could, They'ye not a necessity. I removed it & replaced as per some of the above advise.

Edited by Cupie on Monday 9th of October 2017 10:51:00 AM I'll certainly look at the smart charger options (any recommendations on that & the SOC device pls?). Two more great inputs while I was typing the above. Once again thank you all for your excellent opinions.Įdit. We don't intend using the van for a few months so I have plenty of time to explore options and consult with my expert friend who does all my electronics stuff while I steadily regress to an out of date techno dumbo. My neighbour has an old hardwood set but they are far too heavy & difficult to manoeuvre for an old fart like me. I'll use the trestle & plank approach if I go that way. I'll need to examine the solar option in more detail particularly the associated overall costs.

It was our intention to try free camping with the low cost option, before moving to Solar in the unlikely event that it suits SWMBO. My current 'from vehicle' charging is via a dedicated accessory relay but I intend perhaps one day moving to a van mounted DC/DC charger that has solar input capability. I do need a new battery & intend getting one irrespective of what I decide. I can even use the old load distribution fuse assembly. The hole in the wall is not an issue as I can make a metal cover to mount the new device on or perhaps just use the old face to open and give access to the new stuff mounted in the old case. The only downside of doing that is that when the battery carks I am stuffed, as different to the Power Supply approach which works with or without a battery. Perhaps just one & add another if not coping. I like the idea of putting in one or two Ctek units (they can be installed with 2 or more to increase the charge rate). Before making a final decision I will price it & look at the physical installation aspect. I am aware of the new hi tech Setec system that Jcar are using, though I haven't investigated it. The very good replies have me thinking in a new direction. Edited by Cupie on Sunday 8th of October 2017 09:41:51 PM Jayco recommend a PS with a 35A capacity for my size van. Does anybody know of an alternative or a better (delivered) price? I can get one from a local RV parts supplier for $495 over the counter, which seems OK to me. That's the one that Jayco stock as a replacement for $677.60. It seems that the recommended replacement is a Setec ST35-111. (And putting in a basic monitoring system as well as water proofing & ventilating the PS enclosure) To repair it would be a couple of days work & then I would probably not have a reliable PS anyway. It has suffered from moisture damage perhaps over many years. Examination of the power supply revealed several components with corroded legs & one or two completely broken.
We don't free camp so I don't watch the battery condition as I don't have a monitoring system permanently connected. Elec tests confirmed this and the battery was certainly about flat. So I deduced that I had no 12v output from the Power supply. On our last trip the LED lights seemed a bit dull & when I turned on the parallel incandescent ones they really went dull. They will fit in the same cut out as the American or Centurion units.The power Supply in my 20 YO Westport has finally carked it. They are 4-stage units, have a much better charging profile and an industry leading 3 year warranty. We recommend the Boondocker 45 Amp Power Center for the CS 4500 and the Boondocker 60 Amp Power Center as the replacement for the CS 6000. The American CS 4500 and CS 6000 are not longer available.
