I have a 28ft 5th wheel with a 50amp connection. Boondocked.
I've been using 2 flooded batteries I keep outside on a hitch rack by the plug. On one battery is a bestech 500w pure sine, on the other battery is a renogy 700w pure sine. each inverter goes to a 15a to 30a adapter. From there I have a wishbone, with a 30amp plug on each leg going into my 50amp inlet. Everything running fine with each one getting solar from a 100w harbor freight kit.
I removed the 500w inverter and put a 2000w xantrex pure sine in. The gfci pops on the xantrex as soon as I plug it into the wishbone.
I unplugged the wishbone from the rv, and the xantrex from the wishbone, reset the gfci. it still pops as soon as I plug it into the wishbone.
I've also upgreded my flooded batteries to lithium. More are on the way. 12v system battleborn. An ecoworthy and ampertime just arrived. SOK and SCREMOWER on the way. Eventually getting 2 victron inverters. I saw the good reviews for the battleborn but so much more expensive so I only got the one and it's being used for my 12v stuff. Also saw the good reviews for the SOK as a budget battery, so I'll probably get a few of those for the inverters. But I haven't seen the reviews for the other 3 so I thought I'd try them before loading up on SOK, was also going to look at bigbattery that was reviewed in the same video but it was sold out when I went to order.
I'll be matching everything up in its own bank, no mixing. The different batteries will get used for different things. A utility trailer with 275gal water and pump, and some power for some stuff on my truck- mobile homelab and ham.
Still need to get some shunts and meters. Maybe a little after new years, I'll try to do a comparison of the batteries. No tear down though, I don't have enough followers to monitize something like that.. Will I'm in Vegas, so if you'd like to buy one off me for a tear down can drop off somewhere. Shipping is over a month on some of these from Amazon.
