Preamble:
I've been slowly collecting the materials for my RV off grid System.
I ordered a GroWatt SPF 3000TL LVM back in June and received it promptly.
I ordered an Overkill Solar 8s 24v BMS, and received it within a few weeks.
I ordered 8 LiFePo4 cells from China, and waited 95+ days for delivery, but they arrived, and I've been able to top balance 4 of them, and now I'm waiting for the last 4 to top balance.
Getting to the point:
I've only seen 1 or 2 threads posted where people do this.... but, because of my travel trailer, I think it's going to be the easiest for me. I'm thinking about mounting my Growatt either in the pass through space (on it's side), or underneath the bed storage inside the cabin, which is where I'll put my batteries. I'm not going to wire it into my trailer, but instead I'm going to have a TT-30 A/C input/output coming from the Growatt, and I'll just open up the pass-through space and "plug my camper into itself" when I need off grid power.
The point:
With the LiFePo4 batteries, I know I don't need any/much ventilation. They should be protected from the majority of the elements secured inside the camper.
As for the Growatt, what kind of ventilation does it need? Will it survive inside the passthrough?
Will the Growatt survive under the bed, in the limited space that is there? It'll be a shorter cable run (but not by much) to the batteries, but how hot will it get? How much ventilation does it need?
Does anyone have any answers to these questions?
