Thanks for the feedback. As I mentioned, this is my first system, and I was unaware that Renogy is “cheapening out” the system. I will probably go with the Victron setup as shown in my second iteration. As to the residential fridge... that’s what the coach came with, and the 6kw generator is...

I was specifically referring to the Battleborne LiFePO4 GC2, which have the golf cart battery form factor. The are 12V and 100Ah each, so ~1200Wh x 4 in the above schematic = ~4800Wh. 6 would bring it up to 7200WH, assuming full discharge...

I get your point, and have considered more batteries. The 4 x GC2 was due to the battery compartment’s available space, but I’ve already decided on a new location. I’ve yet to measure the bench seat space and determine the if I can do better, but it is likely that I can get 2 more in there.

Here is the revised schematic. I've also upgraded to the Victron 150/100 MPPT. The more I've thought about it, I don't think trying to save a couple hundred bucks is worth limiting the solar potential, and it's physically smaller, which is a benefit for me. Also, regarding the rigid panels...

Great advice, thanks for responding. I meant to put in the circuit breaker after the panels, but somehow missed it. Good catch.

Hi all, First post here, and I'm hoping you all can give me solid advice. I am trying to maximize the solar charging and battery storage on my 2020 Thor Magnitude RV. I have no background in PV system design, but I do my research and hope my first attempt isn't too full of issues. I'm a...
