Yeeha! That is good news! Keep us tuned on the size of the battery bank your thinking with the price drop of lithium over the last couple years makes lithium within range of AMG price plus you get to use 30% more of the amp hours capacity.
Another member of the forum and I just installed a 20,000 watt hour battery bank that we built which will give him 16,000 watt hour of useable power so he could realistically run one of his AC units for 10 hours. I found running the inverter mini split system in both the Newell and the Prevost not to be the biggest load, the hot water heater is a battery eating monster along with appliances you don't think about like coffee pot, toaster and microwave. We have the original refrigerator in the bus and it draws less than 400w intermittently so that really doesn't count.
