Hello everyone! We just purchased a 2022 Imagine 2670MK and love it. It came with the 165W solar and 25A Furrion controller along with the 12V fridge. I have heard that the fridge may consume all of the solar output so this is what I have in mind. We will be boondocking about half the time.
Upgrade right away to a 200AH LiFePhosphate battery and replace the WFCO converter to Lithium switch compatible (why not start that way GD?). I'll then live and learn on that for a while.
Then eventually add some more solar panels. The 165W Furrion solar panel is waaaaay expensive compared to other panels. Could I add on a 160W "other" panel and have it work well (series or parralel)? or do you really need identical panels for add-ons? My other thought is to add a whole new separate 400W system with a Victron 100V 30A MPPT.
I also plan on adding my 2000W inverter to the battery and plug in the 50 amp service cord to it for when I want to run the microwave or TV while boondocking. (disconnect the converter first!). I have a 3000W generator for bigger loads.
What are your thoughts on this plan?
