Louisiana with future plans

[catfishtoon]

I am in North Louisiana and will be snowbirding to South Dakota and back. Future plans are an off grid homestead in SD and we are keeping out house here. We have a 38ft diesel pusher that will be our home until we move into the place in SD. I am a retired Electrician and all this DC/Solar stuff is a whole new world for me.

Plans for the rv include 800ah/12v, two 400w renogy 40a kits as per the "Off Grid King". I will have the panels on a temp ground mount for a while when we get up north. There is a diesel Onan Gen onboard.

My questions please....
1. Is it ok to have the 40a Rovers, a 120v litime 60A charger and the Alternator charging on the same battery bank?
2. Is it ok having the battery bank both hooked into the rv controler and a 3000w pure sign inverter? Or should I keep them seperate?
3. I am planning two banks of 4 batteries joining at a terminal block. fuses between each bank and the block. 2/0 to the block and 4/0 to the inverter with a fuse in line. Good plan?

I am open to any and all ideas please. Thank you.

Sounds nice. Any pix?

I would STRONGLY consider getting a better quality SCC since its the heart and brains of a solar system, not the place to save a couple bucks.

Yes be beware that batteries have max charge currents and you need to make sure all your chargers don't exceed that.

2. Is it ok having the battery bank both hooked into the rv controler and a 3000w pure sign inverter? Or should I keep them seperate?

What RV controller? Is it lithium compatible?

Definitely get a better quality scc look at something like the smart solar victron units more robust and great track records and their prices on 12 and 24 volt compatible stuff has dropped significantly you will have fewer issues

I guess I should have said...... I already have the Renogy kits..... and 8 LiTime 100ah/12v. Will probably leave two as house batteries and have six separate with a 3000w inverter. The Renogy kits were on a pretty serious flash sale a while back. This needs to cover a year or two.

The priority is going to be the setup for the homestead.
