Pretty good job sounds like you thought it through.
I kinda did something simular when I replaced my lead/acid battery's and went with (8) Lipo 3.2 cells rated at 280ahr each for a total of 560ahrs. Had to get a BMS and replace my existing on board 120v charger with the correct one for lithium battery profile. Also added the Victron 12/12/18 DC-DC charger and used my existing truck wiring harness and plug to just supplement charging when on the road.
Allready had 510w of solar on the roof and my solar controller is adaptable for lithium as well.
My total cost was a bit cheaper ( yours was more extensive ) at around $2300 for the battery's, BMS, Victron dc-dc charger, wiring and terminal blocks. I think when I did my solar back in 2018 that ran me around 1k or so. So Im $3,300 in total. I don't have an Inverter ( yet ) so I use a small 2200w generator when I need 120v for the anything.
Good video and narration.
