Well sorta but that 40 foot number is a little extreme, more like 25-30 for a 2720. In my case about 10 feet of #10 for my TV and 20 feet of #12 in the TM or about .87 - call it 1v drop at about 20A (less at 5A). Also the converter is about 5' in front of the battery so that is where the load (fridge, fan) is going to be. Things get a little complicated from there but in the long run the batteries will equalize and the TV will charge the TM, the only issue is at what rate ?

Now what I really want to know is what is that delta winged thingie behind the blackbird ?
