How to Install Solar Panels, an Inverter, and LiFePO4 Batteries on a Truck Camper RV

We upgrade the electrical system on our Eagle Cap Camper RV to add more solar panels, a 2000 watt inverter, two Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries LiFePO4 and a 30 amp automatic transfer switch. We wanted to upgrade this solar system to run a portable air conditioner from the inverter. We also are now able to run the fridge from the inverter as well saving propane off-grid and boon-docking when we can. The six 100 watt solar panels we added to the roof of the RV are plenty to keep the LiFePO4 batteries fully charged and we estimate that the portable air conditioner would run for up to 8 hours on a charge; or longer when it's sunny.
