My 5th wheel has a converter but no inverter in the electrical panel, current wet battery is going out. want to upgrade to lithium. I have 2 generator that were used twice last year for one night each so we don't do any real boon docking. Watching a lot of videos I feel pretty confident in building the battery. so on to my thoughts.
1. my plan is to build a 12 volt 280ah battery, install 4000w inverter next to the battery then run my 30 amp cord(I use for my generator) from the inverter back into my rigs 50 amp socket. my thoughts are the 5th would think its plugged in and run both 120v and 12v. my draw is about 8-10 amps but would like to hit the air conditioner for an hr to cool things off.
2.The 5th wheels built in charger is for lead acid, hoping it would charge the batteries while driving, knowing I wont get full charge but then when I tie up to shore power I can plug it in. Then I can top off the battery with a lithium charger plugged into a 120 source in the 5th wheel.
3. since I haven't used my generators I'm wanting to leave them home and free up space, weight and maintenance. use this set up going from point a to point b.
3. to me this seems too simple I'm Hoping someone will point out my errors. will this set up "fry" something in the coach?
4.another question my plan is to upgrade my golf cart to 48 volt lithium next year, do I need a 48 volt charger for that or will the 12 volt work?
thank you
