Electrical system help needed

[bottomacher]

I am drowning in my attempt to finalize my wiring systems. I have read George Myers' book three times now, but at least some information is out of date, and much is irrelevant to my bus. Does anyone know of an authoritative and modern guide to wiring start and house batteries, inverters, generators, equalizers, isolators, and 12 and 24 volt electrical systems into the same bus? I'd sure appreciate the help.

Are you using a Vanner type battery equalizer system?  We have all the confusing do-dad's you listed, and the vanner system is almost invaluable in sorting out the voltages.

Actually, Sean has created such a guide on his web-site - go there and you can find it.

We are in the demolition process of our conversion and I've been dreading this same situation. Schematics/Info in conversion books not being relevant to our conversion or too out of date.

Hopefully Seans site helps, anyone else have other sources?

Actually, I do. George Myers has very graciously contacted me and offered to help me with whatever I can't figure out for myself. I owe him the courtesy to try to do everything that I can on my own at first, but I will no doubt be contacting him with questions and requests for help before I fire everything up for the first time. He already has made valuable suggestions, and he has eliminated my jitters about my four different systems. He is truly one of the most valuable assets to our membership.
His book is Designing Electrical Layouts for Coach Conversions. Read it cover to cover a few times. If you still need help, George will take it from there.
