Hmm... I don't see the attachments. I will try to sort that out.

I spoke with quite a few different folks and read tonnes of stuff on line. Finally made decisions. We don't have availability to a marine shop so I've ordered stuff from Amazon.Ca as well as The Gear Shop in Calgary (great service and willing to "work" on pricing).
I've attached screen shots of the VSR, Inverter, an "emergency" batt booster (huge sale), volt meter, 20A dual bank smart charger (on sale), James Baroud roof top tent and the ARB 63 qt fridge.
Will update with photos once everything is installed.
Last thing I need to sort out is how/where to mount my Aux battery. Since we're sleeping on the roof, we've got lots of space for the fridge etc in the back. I'd like to just have the battery back there but still trying to figure out how significant off gasing may be. Seems to me that it's not a concern with an AGM battery. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks all!
