Controllers and converters are incredibly cheap.
Don't let the bare minimal Thor supplied stuff slow you down.
If you're willing to pay for lithium for not much reason, the controllers are but 5 or 10% of your battery cost.

Do yourself a favor
Buy a much bigger inverter than you think you'll ever need.
Discard all the system supplied with your unit.

If you're serious, you'll want big, not just adequate.

Xantrex 3000w for me.
Built in 450 amp charger, a monster converter, and a touch of a button and it's set for any battery type available., and then customizable beyond that.
It's stackable to 6,000 watt for sure, maybe higher.

I don't have to worry about moderation or remove a microwave.
My roof ac unit runs through that inverter.

I don't have solar. I had a huge system in the past, all xantrex top end. No need for it in an rv but it was nice in the trailer as it sat while we were in the truck and gone.
The v10 uses less than 7/10gph and the generator about the same.

Consider
Automatic generator starter.

In my build thread in my signature I show the mock battery I made out of foam board so I'd know for DAMN Sure if it would fit where I thought it might and I show the placement for three batteries in each front wheel well.
It also shows the GIANT battery box on my passenger side.
