By request, today I'm sharing all the details on how I seamlessly integrated a portable power station in my travel trailer RV that powers everything 120V off the grid except for the air conditioner. The install is complete with an automatic transfer switch and the Segway Portable Power Station Cube 2000, which supports 2200W of 120V AC output and has over 2048 Wh of battery power.
Obviously I'm being playful with the title as the underlying battery found in the Segway power station (and most other portable power stations) is indeed lithium. But, by stating "Don't waste your money on lithium" I'm referring to a full-fledged and permanent lithium-based system with invidual batteries, inverter, charger, fuses, wiring, etc. And, just remember it's just a personal opinion as I've always struggled with how expensive permanent lithium systems are in RVs by the time you factor in all the individual components...and the fact you cannot use all that $$ when the RV isn't in use. Certainly if you're full time in an RV or using it more a permanent and pricey install may make more sense for you. So don't take it personally if you're in camp lithium and have spent the big bucks on a custom lithium system.
