winter projects
just wondering what everyone has planned for repairs or upgrades on their truck campers over the winter.
for myself, I have to finish the new LiFePO4 build, but I keep making it more complicated ...

Not sure what brand of campers you guys have but why not just put (2) LifePo4 cell battery’s in the same battery storage compartment that is allready there?
I have a 2019 AF 990 and a couple of years ago replaced my original lead/acid group 29 battery’s with some 280ahr LifePo4 cells giving me 560ahrs total. I was able to fit in a 200a BMS as well as (2) 150a rated terminal blocks for all my branch wiring.
I was also able to install a 1/4” foam box completely around the battery’s as well as having a top cover to provide thermal protection from the elements.
I even placed a temp sensor inside the battery’s compartment as well to a display that I can monitor the actual temp inside and last but not least cut in a small vent cover to allow heat and a small circ fan to circulate ambient warmer cabin air into the battery’s as well box if needed.
Never have needed it and have camped in snow conditions a few times.
