You might want to pop by an RV or marine shop and get yourself a plastic top for protecting the battery posts from shorting on anything, provided you've got clearance. A thought. http://www.walkablecommunities.org/ Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.

Is it possible to wire 2 100amp solenoid in parallel to handle the load of a single 200amp solenoid? No. You will wire it up and it will work, but the very second one set of contacts gets a bit ohmic, most of the current goes through the other solenoid. Not good. At full load one will poof, followed in short order by the other. You can get 200A solenoids cheap enough, Google is your friend. -Bill '87 4Runner w/ '96 5VZ-FE, 'Red Chili II' '97 Taco XtraCab 3RZ-FE, 'BlackBean' TLCA # 13257, Rising Sun 4x4 Club Land Use Coordinator "He who stops being better stops being good." -Oliver Cromwell Re: 70"x84" Flat Deck + Pop-top Camper Build-up!!! [Re: Red_Chili] #785071 03/22/07 02:12 AM Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 827 Saskatoon, SK A allochris OP Rock Warrior Thanks Bill. Right now the dual batteries system is hooked up together with one cheap 80amps continuous solenoid. As I'll need more accessories amp draws when the camper is done, I'll look into those 200A solenoid if needed.

[Re: allochris] #785072 03/22/07 09:11 AM Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 827 Saskatoon, SK A allochris OP Rock Warrior Quote I weighted myself yesterday at 4200lbs with gas tank almost full, pickup box, spare tire, 2 people (300lbs) and stuff (100lbs) in the truck yesterday. That should work out to about 3800lbs curb weight, box/gas/spare included, minus 2 people & stuff. I weighted myself again yesterday on the way back from skiing at 4312lbs (2365 front/1947 rear), with 2 people (300lbs), 50lbs ski gear, half full gas tank, spare. So I assume my new vehicle weight with spare & full tank is now around: 4312 - 300 - 50 + 35 = 3997 lbs. So I guess the combo of my flatdeck/hi-lift/full size spare is about 200lbs heavier! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> 91-22re(408xxxkm & counting with a rebuilt long block)- Flatbed/Camper /33x10.5BFG-AT/Open 4:88/1.5"BJS/ +2"Shackles/Add-a-Leaf/AirLift/Dual-Batteries Re: 70"x84" Flat Deck + Pop-top Camper Build-up!!!

For my truck, (b4 the flatdeck) with stock bed, I weighted at 4200lbs with gas tank almost full, pickup box, spare tire, 2 people (300lbs) and stuff (100lbs) in the truck yesterday.
