Thanks Guys.

Jack, I had a feeling you would suggest returning the Magnum. It may be easier to sell it as I got a good discount on it at $1875. When looking at Will's video it was clearer than mud that I would be best served by a higher voltage server rack battery and separate inverter that would link things together much easier.

Richard, yes, on all the above. Hate the generator running while driving, hate the noise at night (Where/if it even can be run) and yes, We realize there's not enough solar that would charge the batteries. I even went as far as thinking that adding a second or replacing the alternator with something more Lithium friendly but it may be easier to do a DC to DC converter. I agree the Dometics are hard core power hungry users and that a higher voltage system would make things more efficient. I was looking at the new Honda 3000watt fuel injected gas inverter generator coming out. Perhaps installing that in the engine bay to deal with the battery charging and second AC use might be the ticket while relegating the 17.5kw generator for all coach power when sitting still? Would it be sacrilege to remove 17.5 kw generator in favor of a smaller lighter unit such as the Honda? I thought of that too but hate the need to carry another fuel source other than diesel. I appreciate you "Guy-ses" (New York pronunciation) help and ideas. I may look at returning the Magnum. It is still sitting in my entry unopened since it arrived...
