This looks like a good setup that's used by expedition overlanders.

Jesse Dude ... this combiner is similar to what I did on my chevy van and the TardisDeli. Except we dont have the fancy voltage cut off system, ours is controlled by the ignition switch, and a separate manual override switch for emergency, using a continuous duty solenoid, similar to this Xantrex model. End result is my system is much cheaper.

Cheers, Jay.
