Hi -
Thought we'd start with something simple - solar for a new to us pop-up camper but we're stuck and wondering if anyone else has worked through this problem.
System components so far
On order: (4) x 100 w panels (24.3 VOC, 4.93A Imp) - plan 2s2p so have 10awg + serial/parallel connectors
Batteries: 16 cells x 72ah LiFeP04 - will configure into 2p4s2p for a total of 288ah and so that we only need 2 BMS
Intend to order:
We were recommended a combination charge controller in line between "power center" and shore power connection and the Victron 2000W has auto transfer but it is expensive. I like the idea of using a 2000W inverter (love our instapot) but can get away with 1200-1500W inverter given our demand loads.
Would appreciate any thoughts on above.
Thanks!

Intend to order:
- Solar charge controller: Victron mppt 100/30 (we will be up in elevation/cold mornings and understand the BMS would handle the temperature issue - any thoughts?)
- (2) BMS - JBD 12v(4s), 150A each
