What have I done?!
Two years ago, I bought a 38 ft. "skoolie" with most of the seats out of it. Considerably cheaper than a Class A motorhome. I watched a plethora of videos, realizing that to cool the big steel can, I needed some serious energy. I decided that the KISS method was my best option (I can change a light bulb and an outlet), so I bought the following:
Bluetti AC500; (2) Bluetti B300s batteries;
(4) Redodo 12V 200ah Plus batteries;
(8) BougeRV 200 W CIGS solar panels.
I have the Pioneer Diamante Ultra 12,000 BTU H 22 SEER2 / 12.5 EER2 Efficiency Ductless Mini Split Cooling (90 W soft start)
Heating capacity: 12,000 BTU/H with 9.0 HSPF2 / 3.5 COP efficiency.
I will need DC for the water pump.
I will need AC for an Avanti 4.4 cuft. refrigerator that uses 31 wh/day;
Danby 3.5 cuft. freezer that uses 23 wh/day;
Rechargeable LED items i.e. lights, phones, and occasionally a gaming headset, and a 1450 W Fast coffee maker (1 cup in 50 seconds).
My aim was to reduce the constant AC needs.
I have a propane instant hot water heater, and a portable propane two-burner cooktop.
If anybody can tell me IF and the HOW to put these components together, it is you all on this forum! I have not seen anybody do this jigsaw puzzle before. My idea was to use the Redodo batteries during the nighttime for the A/C if needed or cloudy days. Designing for Off-Grid private land during the summer months. The sun hours range from 5.4 - 6.15. Ideally, the skoolie will sit under trees to help with the heat and use the BougeRV CIGS out in the sun.
HELP! & THANK YOU!
