12v and 110v and techquestions
Hello, I have just started to look for my first RV travel trailer and I had a few questions. First off I am am a bit of a tech lover. I do well with wiring diagrams and schematics, but I just ca...

Mr. Wizard, I plan on financing it. I have no debt, and only some cash. My budget for everything is around $25k, the trailer is listed for 16k. Yeah I'm going to finance it, wish I could tell you I am independently wealthy.
Yeah I know there is a lot to matching lithium cells, and how one bad cell makes for a whole bad battery. I've only messed with a hybrid battery one time, and it was to basically test and replace all the bad cells with used cells from eBay that were a good match the cells in the pack. It's like a broad stroke, you end up buying a bunch of cells and hoping you get the 6 you need from the lot. Hybrid was in a Honda if I recall correctly, used sticks of D battery cells more or less. Dealerships will likely never take packs apart, it's very time intensive, even with automated charge testers, and batteries are almost a commodity.
I wanted the separation of the two systems because I was going to use two disimilar batteries types SLA and a typical deep cycle., and I didn't want to deal with a 200amp setup and the safety of it.
I've already talked myself down from a 3k watt inverter. At peak draw I assume I'd be a tick over 2000w. Some come with a 20sec surge rating of 6000watt. (makes me scratch my head).
I never said I was going to cover the fan/remove it, I just said I wanted to ditch the skylights, they use like a 3mm film of plastic. It was deforming in the little wind I have here. Sure overhead light is nice, but there are lots of windows on the left side, one on the back, and the fan in the bathroom is probably adequate enough in the daylight to let light through.
