I never collected a dime from either the federal government or union job 

So, where is your van parked?  Who is letting you park on their property?  Are you using electricity they pay for?  Are you paying them rent?

How do you know he isn't a trump supporter?  You and him dating?

Would you be defending or answering for him if he was?

You guys do realize that Spin may be retired, but he's still practicing..........in here.

He needs the practice.  Where ever he is, he is sponging off someone else.

How many watts is your solar set up? What size inverter?

400w solar. Also has a DC to DC converter to charge the house batteries off the alternator. Inverter is a victron 3000w. It sustains 5000 watt surges for over two minutes. The lithium is now 400ah after a recent config. In all honesty I could get by with 200ah. The system is overbuilt.

Obviously you're running a pure sine inverter. 4 6v lithium batteries?

Victron is the top of food chain for inverter/chargers. So yes, it is pure sine wave. I downsized to 4-100ah 12v batteries. I’ve never pulled them below 40%.

I've heard that 6v lithium is the way to go instead of 12v. Sorry for the questions. I'm in the early stages of planning what's best for my 5th wheel.

I haven’t heard anything about 6v. Only 12, 24, and 48. This guy is good.

Apparently you get more total amps out of 2 6v batts than you do 1 12v.

:dunno:

You’d have to have giant wires to handle the current flow. My system is using 2/0. Big and expensive. 

Interesting.
