Hi John,

Yes, since I have a Victron solar controller, I can confirm that you can definitely limit the max charge current with the solar controller.

I can also guarantee you won't have more than 27 amps coming from the truck to the TM battery. Many of us even have problems keeping up with the fridge while it's on DC while traveling, and it takes about 10 amps (and I've measured it with an ammeter). So even with the fridge off, it isn't a problem, and with it on, you'd have to exceed 37 amps to the TM while towing before you'd exceed the 27 amp charge rate for the battery. That will never happen.

Dave
