Xantrex and cable sizes

[bumpersbird]

Steve,

That was 115' total wire.

It's only 22' feet from inverters to the Batts. Via inside of rail
mounting. It's really a Guestimation, could be a little more or less.

Or four wires of 22' each. 2 Pos. 2Neg. 2 wires per inverter/charger

Not really so far fetched. with the exception that it will not work:{

Like so many things Looked good on paper.

At this point in the installation I've decided to put the new units
in the origonal inverter box inside the engine compartment.
