that dose make sense. ok I try and explain what I would expect from my rv. we intend to be in the warmer climate during the colder months . so I expect a/c will be used a lot of the time. that being said if we are dry camping I have no problem running the generator to keep the a/c unit going during the day. but at night I would like to rely on the batteries. besides the ac running im sure the tv, some led lights will be used. If the batteries are kept charged by the generator and some solar panels is this to extreme of an idea to work?
Do you have a vented space that can handle the size and weight of all of those batteries?
Will the inverter be in the same space? If so, the big DC cables that will be required can be managed. If not, then you will need to determine if you can fish the now bigger cables through whatever openings you have available or you will need to make a conduit run for them.
You will also need to run the inverter's AC output cable to a sub panel, do you have a space and conduit for that?
How will you charge the battery bank, just the new converter? Seems like you will need more than one and they will need to be in a cool place since they will work very hard trying to provide so many A-H.
Just some basic questions you need to get answers for before you start spending money.
