Stevan,
check out my setup at
http://moose83s.googlepages.com/electrical
my conversion is at
http://moose83s.googlepages.com/home
I'm still learning this google page thing. I need to
get a directory tree in there somehow.
About the dual battery setup. It works for me, others
may have different priorities. I want to camp a coupel
days and and also listen to music without the engine
on. I've spent more time than is sane on my sound
system and the only way to appreciate its performance
is to switch the engine off. But my first priority is
to get the rig started up again when I'm in some
remote place.
Have fun,
Reinhard
