Lots of calculations can be made. One thing to remember is that with a 5er you can carry lots of batteries and a big portable gen to run a big amp charger, so you can take advantage of Li charging amps.

(But then I would say since you can carry all those FLAs why spend all that $ on LFP? Seems silly to me.)

few reasons, that are simular to reasons in the TC. Weight being a big one, at 80 lbs each I would been 6 to get the same usable output, which I am thinking of doing... but at almost 90lbs for a rolls surett thats puts over 500lbs at the front of my 5th only 5 feet behind the pin. how much extra tounge weight do you think that adds compared to 80lbs that I could put say 10 feet behind the pin. huge difference in load on the truck. also at about 300 bucks per battery (I dont buy cheep lead acid batteries, I learnd my lesson from doing that), I am at 1800 bucks for lead acid, hmm I think I was at around 2000.00 to build two 280 ah li banks.. plus instead or 800 cycles I can get up to 7000. LiFePo4 are probably now the cheepest per usable AH in the market now, this want the case a couple years ago, then when you look at the longer life they become even cheeper over time.

also if I wanted a Generator I would have never put solar on, personaly I hate camping when there is some one with a generator around, I go out for peace and quiet and enjoying nature, not to listen to the power fist generator hammering away all morning because some one couldnt have spent a few extra bucks on the 80K trailer to put solare and decent batteries in...
