16.8 kwhr of LiFePO4, 2500 watts of solar, adding an Onan onboard as a backup and to intentionally add pin weight. This is not a setup for someone who predominently goes full hookup to full hookup.



Let your needs and style of travel/living dictate your solution. Remember those FLA total amp hours are not all usable capacity. Also it's been my experience that flexible panels may not last you as long as you might like. There is a debate within the industry regarding why this is. One agreed upon reasoning is the lack of air flow around the panel to remove the heat generated. The flexible offering from BB is still really new and waiting to see real world feedback from the industry professionals.
