I was just reminded that it has been 11 years since I did the YouTube video series on upholstery of my Palm Beach and it has been 4 years since we used our coach much. All my batteries are toast. The Onan would need a new muffler/pipe and some maintenance. All this and my electrical systems are still circa 1977 design.

Seems like a good reason to dig into a big project. Don't try to talk me out of it!

Here's the plan:
1) Remove Onan the Giant. After combining two into one and getting it a relatively dependable unit, it just never seemed to fit the places we went. State and federal parks where the noise just ruined the vibe.
2) Remove the storage pod, and remove the roof Carrier AirV 15000 btu. This is a power hog. 1500 watts with 3000 watt startup. See Next.
3) Add a Mr. Cool 12000 btu 22 SEER mini split. The interior will go across the back, above the window, the exterior unit will go where the spare tire is currently.
4) Add 400 or 600Ah BattleBorn LiFePO4 batteries, with appropriate inverter/charger/monitor/isolator. Put this in the Onan space.
5) Add flexible solar directly attached to the roof for aesthetic purposes. Not sure yet how much.

Ok, now you can talk me out of it. Or not and wait for the videos.
