[QUOTE="cairnspom, post: 262775, member: 4645"] Well after much 'research' and a lot of help from here (thanks Condor!) I ended up with a Redarc 1225 dc/dc charger (this allows for solar input as well), the output from this goes to a 4 way battery switch, bat 1, off, bat 2 and ganged together (this last position you never use, but I couldn't find a 3 position switch). This enables you to charge separate batteries individually without risking 'cooking' one if the charge states are uneven, or the batteries are of different sizes. I have a 80AH AGM battery in the engine compartment, and a 'removable' 120AH AGM back in the 'tray' Similar to what you are after, but the one I have in the tray, would be in your camper. This one can be charged directly from solar with the correct regulator (I have a 150W set of panels) I also put a waterproof Anderson plug from the Redarc unit to be able to use solar via that. This set up gives me a very versatile system in and out of the ute. [/QUOTE]
