Hello from Norway, 61 year old gearhead, but never before done RV. So here is my plan... remove two 1400 w 120 volt AC units, install either one compressor 18k and two indoor units 9k. If possible run mini split directly from 48 volt system, solar source... All appliances will be replaced by 110-240 v units 50/60 hz compliant , Fridge, micro, TV. My challenge is twofold... I plan on using RV for 1 year maybe longer travelling US 49 states ... afterwords I will ship it RO-RO to Norway, and here is the challenge.. we use 240 volt L1 L2 + ground or 400 volt three fase. So me thinking out load, Victron 3000 or 5000 48 volt, 120 inverter, I can get by my hole trip in US by running 110 volt from shore power, coach side (minus mini split) and use generator or find a way to convert my whole coach to 230 volt and figure out how to connect shore power and generator... And use a 230 volt inverter . I am on thin ice here ... so hoping to lure around and get advice... Going to Florida Friday to look at a Wanderlodge M380 and then to Nacogdoches MOT where I have deposit on a Foretravel U320 3820 but inspection failed in my eyes.. so its older coaches 2003 and 2004..
