RV electrical diagram for review with 2000w inverter

Surprised to see the Samlex in with all the Victron.

My only real comment would be the battery might be a bit undersized. Inverter alone can easily draw 150 amps and while the diy 280 might be fine with a 200+ amp BMS the premade battery could have a lower limit. And while many cells are rated 1C I believe it is better to be 1/2C or a bit lower. Will work as is and still I recommend planning to expand the battery soon.

Thank you, would you recommend getting single 400A battery? I got the Samlex becase of the dimensions, Victron would not fit my space.
 
Single 400 ah battery would work as long as the allowed discharge is 200+ amps.
Best to post a link to the battery before you buy.

Two in parallel is easy to balance. 2x the diy 280 with 120a+ BMS (each) would be my choice. Works well on my RV trailer.

Thank you. Very helpfull. I have build 300ah diy battery last year for my friend and used Muller energy bms.
Here is the link.

If i cannot find one pre-build 400ah battery that would fit in my space I guess I will be forced to build another one with this bms. Hoping 250A bms would be enough?
 
Yes 250a should be plenty. I have two Overkill BMS at 120 amps each. Inverter does draw less amps on lithium due to higher running voltage.
