RE: Comments on Proposed new DC System

Dave:

I will investigate the Raritan head. Thanks.

I considered putting the new batteries where you did, above the forward fresh water tank. I was concerned about all that weight on the tank. This is where I planned on putting the vacu flush holding tank, which they claim can be smaller due to less flush water. I will loose that little storage area off the small bedroom.

Good point about the heat in the engine room effect on battery performance.

So you can only charge your house bank when AC power is available, shore or gen? I want to be able to charge underway, hence the Balmar alternators.
