Hey Chris
I have hurricane and have 4 house agm's batteries, I just swapped out our 2 year old's for 4 new ones.
I also have 200 watts of solar. have pre ran setup just added panels.
Just boondoggled in outerbanks for 10 days in Ocracoke NC and did really good! Weather was perfect
4 batteries and 200 watts solar ran everything!
had couple tenters that used our power to make their smoothies in the mornings! ha
ran generators little bit to top off and run ac's on couple days.
Did so good!
Boss lady said go for it on the solar/battery upgrade so our cats are good to go where ever we go! Heck yeah!
I have 1200 amp hours of lithium
1.6k of solar panels
2 ac slow start caps already here.
Waiting on Victron brains and parts, getting the new 50amp one.
going be a job! but going be self sufficient!!
Kitty Kitty!!

Considering upgrading my inverter/converter to allow for some 110 power devices without shore or generator power.
Longer term hope to upgrade with solar to help with recharging and maybe switch to Lithium.
Anyone been through this already that can share some lessons learned?
thank you all.
