An inexpensive system may be quite a bit smaller than the Volta system on high-end diesel pushers like Thor built as a prototype for RV show (which had something like 3 X 3600 Watt inverters, over 20 kWh battery bank, and around 11,000 Watt alternator if I recall correctly to match 50-Amp service), but if compared to most Volta systems on Class B, B+, C and A which have a single 3,600 Watt inverter (to match 30 Amp service), then it’d be a little smaller but not that “mini” by comparison.

It would come down to how much weight in AGM batteries one wants to haul around, or how much money one wants to spend on lithium batteries.

I’d like to see the dual 250A Transit alternators tried out on the Cross Trek except with 2 or 3 batteries of 330 Ah each.
