Thanks, I'll check, but think it is 10 gauge. As for alternator, don't know, We do know it can take care of 1995 F150 6 and the original Pod's excide. Before any alterations, need to check on that. I know it is 1 yr old life time warranty
Again, thanks for your help, Ill look up the switch and maybe there is a schematic of how to hook it up.
Later,
Happy Traveling,
Tom

This is for parallel not series.  this is to isolate the solar from the pod. do, if switch is on 2, you can only charge the batteries and the pod is off, no drain.  1 and 2 pod and zamp both.  off is all off, batteries isolated.

TexMan, I'm looking to get a 182G in the next few months and was wondering if you have heard any pro or cons on the Gray Tank drain mod?  It looks pretty easy and having just one hose connection location would be great. Any issues with the gray water not properly draining after the mod? Thanks and love all your great Mods! Tony

Alloy

i just did the mod and haven't used it.  I added a cleanout for the gray line at the 90 deg turn, if you can see it. The cleanout was a recommendation of the person that i stole this from to wash the line out of food and such.  Not sure if you can tell from the photos, but the line i added to connect the tanks does have decent fall to it, about 2" over 6.5 feet, so that should drain good.
