jcw3rd Report post Posted May 4, 2016 I installed an LiFePO4 system last year. I already had 790 watts of solar. But my AGMs died an early death (one battery went bad, apparently). So I upgraded to the LiFePO4. I went with a 500AH pack. Along with that I upgraded our inverter to a Magnum 3000w with the load balancing feature ('borrows' power from batteries when a high load exceeds shore supply). I'm *very* happy with the system. I've even upgraded my fridge recently from a Norcold 1200 to a Samsung RF18 residential and am now boondocking with no problems (in Puerto Penasco, MX). We had our system installed by Larry Crutcher at Starlight Solar in Yuma. The system ran me about $8k. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cigarboy Report post Posted May 6, 2016 Hi CHP, I have the same make/year/model as you and am also planning to go solar/lithium in the next year, once we move to FT in the RV. Please keep us updated as to the install process. I wish I could add value to this conversation, but I too am planing this. Suggest to look at the install of Paul and Nina @ wheelingit. They just did a big solar/lithium upgrade and put the batteries/inverter in the washing machine cabinet that you and I have in the bedroom. it looked reasonable. Mine is just a clothes closet at the moment. -mike F432601 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
