How did you come to this decision and how do YOU expect to use it?
And what is your existing system?
If your all-in-one is an inverter/charger then the answer is that the existing charger is not needed.
Are you sure the all-in-one will fit? They can be bulky and hard to fit into a small trailer.

Hey guys...thanks for your response....my trailer has the "stock" set up...I guess it's a converter as it charges my battery...I have no inverter now but would like to be able to use small a.c. such as a fan... And my small 24" tv. .... Nothing large....I have been reading on this site and follow Will....that's where I saw the "all in one" units....just seemed a little easier to set up... As far as room I could wire it up close to the battery...
Thanks again for any help as I have read a lot but zero experience with this stuff...lol

The all-in-one units offer a couple of advantages to those new to RV upgrades.
1. Less wiring - This cannot be understated as wiring is the most tedious and time consuming part of the install, at least for me.
2. Simplicity - Less research of individual components, less shopping around, less to manage
Disadvantages
1. Costly to upgrade - Say you want to double your solar panels. The entire all-in-one may need to be replaced instead of just an MPPT device.
2. One size does not fit all
I don't own an all-in-one and never really considered one. The above are my observations of experiences posted by other forum members.

What do I need to be able to be able to charge lithium batteries via my trailers 30 amp cable and a propane generator? Here is a more detailed description of my question if you have a couple minutes:
Charging lithium batteries in travel trailer without solar?
Hello everyone, first post here. I am planning on building the minimalist system in the near future for my travel trailer. My problem is I need new batteries now, but I'm not quite ready to plunge into a solar system for a few months. I plan on buying two 100ah SOK's now. How can I safely...
