I got thinking today after packing the front bay - leaving plenty of room around the MultiPlus and the MPPT units that with the front bay door closed there is no air circulation. I thought of adding a louvered vent to the door, but when driving in the rain water would get in. Is there a waterproof louvered vent that might fit our units?
Or I could add a second battery vent fitting to the left side and run tubing high then down to below the Multiplus and to below the MPPY units.
Am I worrying about nothing?
Thoughts?
On a side note I discovered when plugged into shore power the MPPT units provide nothing to the batterys as the MultiPlus charger seems to override. Charger is in absorption/float mode. In fact the display shows -2W (bounces between zero and -2W) going back to the PV unit. Fridge is pulling roughly 50W when on.
And a funny note - while under the trailer greasing the wet bolts I hear a sudden roaring noise - made me jump. The AC had come on. It somehow remembered the last settings. Took a bit of fumbling but I got the power button to work. Just threw me for a loop. The floor and coroplast amplified the sound. I thought the fridge had gone wonky as I just turned it on so we could load food Friday.
Well back to packing.
