    I was tracing every wire and notice my ground wire was not connected To RV trailer frame. After connecting ground wire and I notice my wire is not hot compared to last week. Do you guys think it could be because of the ground wire was not connected to the chassis.

    Once I resolve the heating situation, I will add solar panels to my RV trailer. Additionally, I plan to install the Victron Energy Orion-Tr Smart charger so that I can charge the batteries while driving. I want to have multiple options for charging my EG4 batteries.

    Thanks everyone! I was worried when the wire got hot and wasn't sure if it was because of the cheap disconnect switch or if I needed a bigger wire. I appreciate the advice from those more knowledgeable, and I'll share updated pictures soon.
