I'm thinking of replacing my Kohler 5E with a 12V Lithium 400-600 AHr bank and a Victron Multiplus inverter/charger. I only use my 120V when I overnight to heat water (15-30 minutes/ day), coffee maker/microwave (10-20 min/day) and/or hot plate (10-20 min / day). With that load, I figure a 400 AHr back should easily last me for a 2-4 day outing. I don't run my heat/AC continuously.
Has anybody done this and regretted it? Since I'm already wired for a genny, the conversion should be easy. What's a gently used (i.e. <50hr total time/fresh water only ... runs great) 5E worth? I just don't want the noise (no sound shield) and fuss of a gas genny.
