I just installed all LED's in the 3150rl and am extremely happy with the results. Michael at FilamentFree got the order out in less than an hour and everything is working great. Thanks to Jack and David for showing us the light on LED's at the Quartzsite Circle.
I have some questions about battery monitors. I want to know what power percent I have remaining in the battery bank and see what the power drain is for the heater, tv, etc. I am looking at the Tri-metric monitor and would like to get input on the following:
does the montitor show total power in all of the battery bank or just one? Is it easy to install? Is there a more recommended monitor?
Thanks.

does the montitor show total power in all of the battery bank or just one? - The easy answer should by yes. However with that said all the negative 12vdc connections need to be in parallel and connected at the "bottom of the shunt". Then the negatives for
all loads are connected to the "top of the shunt". I use a buss strip at the top of the shunt for all my Load grounds. I use the reference bottom and top as just a way of description.
I have four six volts (two in series) and the two pair then in parallel.
I hope this answers your question.
Yes, I feel it was easy to install. I had a problem but it was installer error, me. I did not have all the load grounds at the "top" of the shunt.
