Hi All,
Hoping to get some feedback/input on my preliminary design so far. This is my first build so I'm open to hearing anything I might be missing - or not thinking about.
This is for a 2017 Jayco X213. Planning to do full-time travel and want to be able to dry camp/boondock regularly. Typical usage is a pair of laptops, typical 12 RV Loads, microwave, toaster, blender. I am planning on bringing a gaming desktop for a couple hours of occasional use every week or two but it will be powered down except when used. I've started a power usage estimate for what I hope is a heavy use day.
Here is a power usage estimate I started: (link)
Right now the plan is:
- AIO Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM-48P 3000kW/48V
- AOLITHIUM 48V 100Ah (Much less expensive than SOK or EG4 in Canada)
- 1000W+ of PV (Not sure which modules yet until I check the roof space available but the plan is to maximize PV)
- Leave existing 12V house battery (Or buy small LFP) and add a Victron Energy Orion-Tr 48/12-30A
- Should I add a second 100Ah battery?
- How much solar is realistic for a 24' travel trailer (24'x8')
- Do I need to keep the existing 12V house battery can I just use the Victron DC/DC converter? (Concerned about slide motors burning it up)
- Is the AIO a mistake? (AIO comes across as very cost efficient)
- does Idle consumption blow my power budget.... can I get away by turning it off?
- Will the fan noise be unbearable? ( Open to replacing them)
- Single point of failure (Could add bypass for shore power and I'll have the 12v house battery)
