I’d appreciate a design review of the attached wiring plan for my 2021 TAB teardrop trailer.
This my first post. I’ve learned a lot from you brilliant people, so it’s time to actually build something.
I’m going from this factory-installed solar set-up…
I’m still gathering some elusive data for my energy audit, but it seems like I’m converging on about 500Wh per day for all the DC stuff.
My objective is to design and build upgraded lithium & solar system that works, lasts a long time, and looks good. I’m an electrical geek.
Some specific questions I have:
How did we get projects completed correctly before the Interweb? Pop Science/Mechanics, I suppose.

I’m going from this factory-installed solar set-up…
- 105W flexible roof-mount solar panel
- Victron 75-10 solar charge controller
- 75Ah AGM battery
- add 2 Ecoflow 160W portable solar panels, for a total of 425W
- add a Victron 100-30 solar charge controller for the portable panels
- replace the battery with a 206Ah 12V SOK Lithium battery
- add a Victron 12-12/18 DC-DC charger
- add a solar panel shutoff switch
- add a Victron Lynx
- add a Victron BMV-712 battery shunt/monitor

Some specific questions I have:
- Do I have all the required fuses?
- Are the fuses the right values?
- Should I increase wire sizes?
- Do I need another ground connection from the Victron 100/30?
- Is it a mistake to put all of the Victron bits, plus the new battery, in the original battery/propane box mounted on the tongue, and then inside another lockable battery box? Here is the battery box I’m using, if I can figure out a way to get it into the original battery/propane box: https://www.amazon.com/NOCO-HM462-C...o+commercial-grade+battery+box,aps,237&sr=8-7 )
- Is there anything else I should change?
