Thanks Dan but I don't won't bridge the AC part the DC has plenty of amps lol there has to be use for the AC you would think,maybe  I will install a J/B with a breaker to dead end the AC circuit it puts out enough current to rattle your teeth I found out with a stupid move

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger. I nudged a wire in the dreaded Dometic refer panel yesterday trying to figure out why it is not lighting this week. Pretty sure I nudged  a 12v wire. Pretty sure one of my eyes came out far enough to look at the other one. Fixed the refer though! Aired up the bus so it was level and refer fired right up.
If you do something stupid you have to share it.

old tube type tv's had a high voltage plug on side of picture tube. When doing repairs, learned to not to get arm too close to the connection. I contacted it once or twice. Your arm comes back so fast, you hope you weren't  holding any wiring, because it will come out with your hand from the reaction. Then you hold your hand over your heart to see if it is still beating. Normally, you hold a long screwdriver to discharge it before work. Sometimes you want to check the wiring for loose connections while set is on. Occasionally...POW! Funny now.

What you might want to look into Clifford, is the DUVAC system that is  Leece/neville,, belt driven, and produces two segregated voltages when running.. My system is thus with split voltages to each battery bank separately..  You can use 12 and 24 simultaneously and get where you need to be at 160 Amps..>>>Dan
