Roadtrek's added AGM might become the standard for lifepo4's setups in small RV's. I'm thinking separate setups joined when necessary. The AGM or AGM's could power the heating pads.

Has solar has been keeping the batteries up even with the heating pads in use?

If so, that's excellent. Snow cover will likely affect that at some point.

Will you leave it plugged in for the...

A lot of inverters have the shut down voltage set at 10.5 volts. For example, mine sounds an alarm at 11v and would shut down at 10.5v. I just glanced at a ZL Power manual and see the alarm would...

On my van fast idle doesn't seem to make much difference in amp output. I have 624 RPM (approx), 1070 RPM, & 1360 RPM on a switch. I only have the single stock alternator and the PCM seems to...

I like the big battery bank implementation. The less idling needed the better IMO. When the battery bank is large enough like Davydd's you don't need to idle.

Re: Advancing Alvar

Those all sound like great ideas to me. The zip in for the rear doors should really help. All of them added together would make for a comfy coach.

Re: Advancing Alvar

We talk a lot about DC parasitic draws but not so much about AC parasitic draws.

Every AC device / appliance in my van can be powered by the inverter and all those standby modes add up I'm sure....

Re: Advancing Alvar

Your lithium batteries are great for what you describe. :thumbup: They don't need to be fully charged ever. Your battery life is still described in "cycles" but you have lots of cycles in those...

Re: Advancing Alvar

I see that Froli makes motion or articulated beds. It's not what Davydd used but it (or something similar) might be an easier retrofit.

I like the beds. I'm definitely a fan of beds that you can get out of easily. :thumbup:

What is under the beds? Storage? Tanks?

The black tank vent is probably not visible because of the angle of the shot. We can't see the far rear corner or the space between the awning and the panels. The 190P I owned had a very low...
