Wow, Jack, I agree with Richard, that mini-split custom-case is the bees-knees!
How did you go about sealing the cutout that originally accommodated the conventional rooftop AC unit, welding a metal /or/ composite work?
I did something similar with our Leisure Travel and found that welding a steel plate was a very bad idea and went back to use composites (primarily epoxy w/ fiberglass/carbon-fiber)
@bestgenman - I've read about their solution; however, with the alternators used on Newell's and their high-output/cooling even at idle-RPM, I feel like it can be avoided. Worst-case, just isolate with a properly sized DC-DC charger which yields a lot more power because it's on on-for-50%/off-for-50% type of solution; plus it will compensate for other issues, such as a better charging curve/voltage and for those vehicles that use "smart" regulators which (incorrectly) interpret lithium's high-voltage to indicate 100% SoC.
