I have a 2017 Jayco 5th wheel that is stock 30A with one lead acid battery and working on upgrading to lithium and portable solar to start. I have basic electrical knowledge, more 120V than 12V , but all things DIY. I have a diagram created from others seen online and modified per suggestions from others, but still have questions so looking for experienced input. I decided to use individual components instead of the Victron Multiplus or similar for ease of replacement or changing if necessary although Victron is a good product, but it's also a great way to learn.
My questions revolve around the RV panel, converter/charger, powering 12V side and transfer switch. Some explanation first about this is the charger is not lithium compatible and the replacement is a constant 14.6V which is not optimum charge profile, hence the separate charger. I decided on a manual transfer switch instead of automatic for reliability, but it would be wired the same as the GoPower TS30 ATS.
Grounding is not shown, but I'm researching that now and want to do it correctly and need to look at how the factory grounding is done to incorporate that.
I've purchased the inverter, the Lynx and some smaller components but wanted to finalize the diagram before proceeding. Any suggestions are appreciated-thank you.
