American 'Indianeering' at it's finest, ha! We really are learning as we go here folks. The solar power system I installed in our 2004 Winnebago Sightseer 35N works great, awesome even, but use has a way of making my errors obvious. The battery bank is heavy, but not heavy enough to keep it from sliding around inside it's compartment if not adequately secure. So, in this video I go back and solve the sliding issue. I also install an exhaust fan within the battery bay to move any outgassing out of the compartment to open air. Having read a lot on lead acid batteries and outgassing, I've learned that modern solar charge controllers and 4 stage converter/chargers minimize this outgassing to very low levels. Still, even though our system has been working just fine without any outgassing issues at all, I've decided to install a 12 volt exhaust fan in the compartment.
