Will putting a 100ah Lifepo4 battery in a 1990 Lance with a single battery compartment work right?(picture below of converter/charger)It would basically double my house capacity from my currant Gro...

Since the OP actually has three 27s and his set-up indicates he can do wiring for inverters etc, one thing to get more AH is just parallel all three batts. Peukert (sp?) then gives you more running time for the same amps draw right there
Another advantage over a split bank is that you might be low on the regular Rv bank but there is still some left in the "inverter" bank, but you can't get at that to run the furnace. If they are all in parallel they all can be used for everything.
I drill holes in my old TC for wires and don't care. If the next guy doesn't like that, too bad! :)
Yes, you can leave the whole 6300 in place and use portable chargers. I found you can make a portable charger from a deck mount converter by using a cut off set of jumper cables with the clamps, in the DC output terminals. This can give you higher amps and a proper charging profile compared with the usual portable charger.
There is room for a pair of 6s ahead of each wheel well in our truck, which is better than a 27 or two, which might be another opportunity for the OP. I used to carry a pair of T-1275s up on the left side there, which also fit same as 6s. That pair of T-1275s was rated for 300AH when new (mine were used ex-golf cart but still in good shape)
