Hi All,
We'll be picking up our 17.58-3 OB in Feb 18 and I was after people's thoughts on different options
for charging van battery/batteries if mostly free camping. The new Journeys will have the J-Hub BMPro system
which I'd say is very similar to previous systems. My understanding, battery charging is done by the battery
management module by solar and/or a trickle charge through pin 2 on the 12 pin plug (3mm2 wire on Jayco plug
wiring document) while towing. Is this correct?
Is there another common mod ie DC-DC charger circuit to speed up battery charging while towing? Especially
if it's a short trip to the next campsite and the sun is not shining. Or is just adding another battery the better
option rather than modifying charging circuit and then if budget allows maybe buying a good quality small generator?
Thanks
