I have discovered the crowds don't entirely overlap. But you can find me over there and I would be happy to discuss the electrical complexities of designing a house on wheels. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

Should we be designing in a way to tilt the solar panels to get more power?

Given the roof size and total bank capacity it is possible to run entirely on solar power. Sunpower makes som 430 watt panels and Panasonic makes some others in the 330 watt. If you cover "most" of the roof you can put 5 panels up. 330 watts x 5 panels = 1,650 or 1.65 kw. In California here...

When looking at lithium batteries you should know there are many vendors available and you can build a pack of whatever capacity and voltage you like by assembling individual cells/batteries. The tesla is a great option because they use a unique chemistry that "resists" fires and being pulled...

For a good read on designing you house electrical you should read this: https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/Book-Energy-Unlimited-EN.pdf I would jump to section 6 which has common energy budgets for boats. It matches my needs closely.

When designing the battery bank for the house part you should bear in mind how much power you use during a day and how many cycles you will put in your battery bank. Then you can figure out the correct minimum size for the bank and find what power sources you will use. It is possible to add...

Ok the Neihoff alternator is like a dual tapped transformer. Basically it has some windings in it and you get both 12v and 24v out of it. The big thing to remember is the total amps out will be split between 12v and 24v. If you draw a lot of power (100 amps) for a long time it's going to heat...
