Your wisdom helped me design a very nice system for my van which is 90% complete. When the project is done I will post pics here in another month or so. I have not been to the forum in about 6 months.
I have another question for you. Part of my system is being able to be connected to shore power which also runs a 12V 30 amp charger which charges the system when connected. Here is what I need to do. I want to install a fail safe so the van can not be started when it is connected to shore power. I will be plugging in a lot and god forbid if I ever managed to forget and drive away while plugged in it would rip a huge hole in the side of my van.
I would normally just use a relay that would kill the ignition power when there is power coming from the back, BUT, since there are 2 golf cart batteries back there, there is always at least 12.6 Volts so I need a way to detect when it's plugged in the and voltage jumps to 13.7 which then triggers a relay or another work around.
any wisdom you have on this would be greatly appreciated
