A little more progress made lately.
I got the black tank repaired and installed a few days ago.
Got the last of the 12V wiring done in the battery compartment.
Went with a lot of marine stuff intended for boats.
Got a Morningstar 25A solar controller, a Blue Sea ACR (combiner), a battery cutoff switch and a distribution block to clean up the wiring.

From the distribution block the 4 wires run to: Generator, inverter, converter/DC panel, and input from solar.

We are going to start with 215ah of battery (2 6v duracell gc2's) and see where that takes us. I have room for 2 more in the propane/battery
compartment and could also fit 2 more int eh generator compartment if needed.

Once the batteries were in I had to weld an extension to the exhaust for the EV6010

Got it installed and she cranked right up after I lowered the rear of the coach (pretty low on fuel at the moment). It's pretty loud inside the coach,
but there's no insulation or anything yet so I'm hopeful that it will tone down once it's all finished up. I'l definitely be adding insulation to the
gen compartment to try and tone it down a bit. I still need to extend the exhaust out from below the coach past the rear bumper.

Next up is insulation. So as soon as I get a free day I'll be experimenting with this spray foam stuff and will report back with how it works.
