LIABILITY RELEASE: I hereby release anyone and everyone from any and all liability related to advice given in response to this request for help. Including all replies, replies to replies, replies to my follow-up replies, etc.
Hello,
Sorry this is a cross-post. This was posted in the Safety Check section but no one has replied.
Please review and comment on this. All of my parts are in and I would really like to get started this weekend.
All help is greatly appreciated!
We have a Lance 2185 travel trailer that I am going to upgrade from FLA to LFP. At the same time I will be moving the battery location from the trailer tongue to a closet at the rear of the trailer, and adding portable solar panel(s).
Feedback on safety (i.e. wire sizing, fuse sizing and placement, etc.) is especially appreciated!
Notes:
Let me know if I can clarify anything further.
Thanks for your input and helping to keep my family safe!
Regards,
-Eric

Notes:
- The original converter has been removed
- The original AC breaker panel and DC fuse panel have been retained
- Using the Energy Audit spreadsheet I have determined maximum possible draw on the DC Panel is 48A
- The wire run from the existing DC panel at mid-trailer back to the rear closet with LFO batteries batteries will be 10-12 FT (depending on how routing works out)
- All wire from the battery terminals to the MRBF block terminal (+) / busbar (-) will be with 2/0 AWG wire (to allow for future upgrades)
- Portable solar panel, SCC, and associated wire are as supplied in a solar panel kit
- All other wire is 4 AWG
- 2 Lion Energy UT1300 105Ah, 1344Wh, 150A LiFePo4 batteries provide the power
- The shunt is what comes with the Victron BMV-712
- No inverter at this time
Let me know if I can clarify anything further.
Thanks for your input and helping to keep my family safe!
