This summer I will be installing all Victron solar system.
4 - 350watt bifacial Canadian solar panels
multi plus II 3000watt dual output inverter/charger
BMV-712 battery monitor which is Bluetooth
6- 100ah lithium batteries, I would recommend battleborn batteries. I am using Relion because I get a huge discount on them.
4 MPPT charge controllers 1 per panel so I don't have to worry about shading.
gerbo cx and display panel for total system control and information
30amp DC to DC charger so I can charge 30 amps from the truck
and other misc. items. We will be fulltime when I retire.
by the way we have the same rig! 3761FL. WE LOVE IT!
my planning Delima right now is where i will put it all. I was planning on the front generator bay, but it is not temperature controlled. We had a considerable temp swing about a month ago, everything was condensing in the bay and i had to put a heater in to warm the area and dry it out. So I don't think that is a good option. Still considering a location
Good Luck with your system!
