Full-time Snowbird

This past Winter in Florida I put 4 100 watt Renogy Solar Panels on my 2011 Roadtrek RS-Adventurous camper van, bought 3 100 Ah Battle Born Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries along with a Victron SolarSmart MPPT 100/30 controller with bluetooth and a Victron monitor also with bluetooth and a Li-BIM battery isolator necessary for lithium batteries. I downloaded a wiring diagram from explorist.life.com (an afiliate company)that shows how to connect all this stuff, what size wiring I need (made my own 2 ga. and 8 ga. cable wires!), and fuses, circuit breakers, etc. Then I built a wooden battery box to hold the stuff. I put the battery box behind the driver’s seat as my 750 watt Tripp Lite Charger/Converter is close by under the driver’s seat, and the batteries are not affected by weather. They weight a lot less than regular batteries, can almost discharge completely and don’t give off gases! The Battle Born Batteries company were great and answered all my e-mails either the next day, or the same day! They said my three lithium batteries and 4 solar panels will work O.K. with my Tripp Lite Charger/Inverter and they have an article showing how to adjust the Charger/Inverter. I have no experience with solar panels, lithium batteries and controllers and monitors but I followed the diagram, watched some YouTube videos and read the Battle Born Battery company articles on setting up solar. The solar panel installation was easy as the plugs can only plug in a certain way and I screwed the brackets to the roof with the self-tapping screws Renogy provided, put adheasive caulking under them and leveling caulking around them (preventing water leaks is most important). I also put a 12 fuse box in the battery box and ran a positive/negative wire through my cabinets to the inside back of my camper van where I now have a 12 volt TV, and a large 12 volt fan for boondocking, which should save me money and enjoy nature, rather than crowded noisey campgrounds that are going up in price each year. Sorry, this is just my opinion. The only thing I haven’t done is connect the wires from the battery box (I have them rolled up against the outside of the box) to the van's inverter/charger, chassis battery and replace the van’s battery isolator with my new Li-BIM battery isolator that works with lithium batteries. I could connect them but I want to find a professional to connect everything to the van. My solar setup is running great, but it is a separate system right now. Battery Born Battery company does not do installations, but they gave me a list of affiliate RV companies that do. I am in Florida right now and heading out West in few days and right now I’m looking for a small shop that will just connect the final wiring.
