Hi Folks -
I'm looking forward to interacting / contributing on this forum as my projects progress! I'm undertaking a solar/battery/electrical/heating/insulation upgrade on my Winnebago Class B Motorhome/Van (ERA 170X 4x4), which is equipped with 2x 100Ah AGM batteries. A few challenges I'll be tackling:
1) The batteries are mounted in a somewhat exposed location underneath the chassis behind the rear wheels. I'm leaning toward going with SOK 206Ah batteries, but they won't fit my existing battery trays, so I'm looking into building new battery trays with 80/20.
2) The van does not currently have an inverter (just a converter/charger and a separate transfer switch). Current wiring does not adequately support what's needed for inverter (run is very long, gauge is too small), and the A/C and D/C systems are located in separate compartments from one/another. I'm hoping to find a solution to these problems that does not involve a wholesale rewiring.
