The LiBIM only limits the time the alternator is charging, 15 minutes on and 20 off. I know a few Foretravel guys who are using a Sterling Battery to Battery charger successfully. They range from 20 amp up to 120 amp and pull from your chassis battery to charge the house battery. They say this protects the alternator from overheating better. Worth checking into.
In my Foretravel I replaced 3 8D gel batteries with 3 100 amp Battle Borns and am seeing much more capacity. Best is to figure out how many amphours you use in 24 hours and how you'll replace using either generator or solar.
