where to put inverter on Northstar Pop up

They are the blue GBS cells from Elitepowersolutions.com. I got them through Larry at Starlight Solar in Yuma, AZ along with the BMS.
So far they are working great. I am having a few minor challenges with getting the cells balanced more (faulty BMS part initially drew down one cell). If you are not bottom balancing up front and keeping an eye on V and SOC yourself, they do require the BMS system to prevent drawing down too much or overcharging.
Weight reduction was one of the major factors for us. Huge savings per Ah, as was ability to draw down to 20% SOC.
My converter is the standard WFCO but I don't use the converter or alternator (or a generator) to charge the lithiums, only solar. Tried hooking up converter to charge the batts as a test, but the 10 gauge cable from converter to batts didn't seem to allow much amps.
Inverter is GoPower high-surge 1500W (surge to 3000W).

Thanks for the information. Solar is out for me. I camp mostly in the woods under the canopy so I'd have to either charge them with the converter (I have a WFCO front end with a PD upgrade installed through my small (2000 watt Inverter genny) or shore power at home.

I actually considered adding panels but after reading about the power loss with partial shading, decided not to. Don't get much sun in the north Michigan woods.

I'm looking at the weight savings as well. With a TC, any weight savings directly equates to being able to carry more 'stuff' without being overloaded and that was why I sold my Lance and got a pop up TC, I was always overloaded. Not mow and it's a much more pleasant driving experience. No sweaty palms on the slab in the wind and better fuel mileage too plus the whole outfit fits in the garage so storage now is easy.

We gave up some amenities selling the Lance but for us, the trade off was worth it.

Thanks again for the information.
