Hi Steve,
That is a very sophisticated contraption for such a small box (approx. 14x10x8 inches). It appears to do many desirable things well. Note however that it requires 230 VAC for input and our Onan generators only put out 120VAC. Note also that you have to request the unit be reset from 50 to 60 hz that we use in NA. If you are thinking of ditching the Onan and using one of the manual start, manual fuel Hondas it looks like it would work well and fit well in a GMC. Get a long extension cord to get the noise from the Honda away from you and your neighbors. Do a search for people who have actually used any of the Li technology batteries in an RV application. Heat management is a must for long battery life and to maintain the battery capacity over an extended period. The Victron stuff I have used is very high quality and performs as advertised. I may look into one of these when I decide to replace the Heart modified sine wave inverters in our Prevost since the 17.5 kw generator there puts out 230VAC and we already have a very large AGM battery bank (6 - 8D batteries) and auto gen start.

I'm giving thought to a large battery bank (maybe lithium) and this:
