Yes, I picked up a 70A a few days ago and it is already delivered. I did test my slides amp usage at 18A when being used. The reasons I went with a 24v system versus a 12v system is, 1. Lower Amperage Lower materials cost for wire and fuses. 2. Future Battery Upgrades I am figuring on 4 SOK 200A batteries but am only using 2 at the present time thus leading to even more amperage thus refer back to #1. 3. Future Solar Panel Scalability Higher limits on solar input. (I read this somewhere but I am having trouble finding this in the specs anywhere.) 4. Weight Weight is also an issue in my rig so I wanted to cut as much as I could with the extra bulky wire. I realize you are a 12v proponent. Thanks for the help.

No information on Ping or latency.

Yea, all my other stuff is Victron. I was trying to save some $$ with the original unit I posted. I might as well stay with the same manufacture. Which leaves only one question now. How big? The 40 or 70 amp version. I will try to do some tests today to figure out my draw. Anyone else know how to test this? Getting back to that. I realized after posting that I have a 12vdc electric hitch lift at the front of the trailer which is grabbing power at the front end which means I will have to mount the step down converter at the front end with the inverter and batteries. Thanks again for anyone's help.

The slideout is electric. It is fused with a 15amp fuse. Maybe this is just for the slide relay? I will attempt to get help tomorrow reading the battery lead with my meter to see how many amps are being pulled when the slide is being used.

Yes. I have one slide out and two electric stabilizers, and one electric hitch lift. I guess they draw more than 40 amps? Do you have any idea how I find out how much they draw? Thanks for the help.

I am doing a Inverter/Battery conversion and have a question about the location of the 24 to 12vdc step down converter. My batteries are going to be in a 24vdc configuration and need a step down converter to power the trailers 12 volt systems, The inverter and batteries are in a storage box in the front of the trailer and the 110 breaker/12 fuse box is located about 2/3rd of the way down the trailer (20' distance from each other). There are already two 6 gauge wires ran to and from each of these locations for the old battery charging system. I want to utilize these wires for the 12volt supply to the fuse panel from the 24vdc batteries which means I will need to step down the 24vdc to 12vdc for this 12vdc supply to the fuse panel. My original thought was to put the step down converter at the batter location which will then step down the voltage to 12vdc for its travel to the fuse box about 20 feet away. Then I thought that it might be better to leave the voltage at 24vdc at the battery end and put the step down converter at the fuse panel where it will be converted to 12vdc inches away from the fuse panel input to reduce voltage loss for that 20' I am removing the old batter charger at the fuse panel location so I have a perfect well ventilated area for the step down converter. Any thoughts? I see two 40amp fuses as my main input fuses on the 12vdc side so I am assuming I need a 40amp step down converter to power everything. Is this correct? If so, I am looking at this converter (24-12 40amp version). Anyone tried this device? Thoughts? Thanks for your time and advice.
