Hi, Your posts and work looks amazing. I can't answer your question because I haven't had a need to replace the existing house components that you are replacing, but I augmented the inadequate electrical system on my 1984, 18' Toyota sunrader in the following ways: 1. Installed 2000 watt inverter behind driver seat and ran a dedicated romex line from inverter to over by kitchen area and rear dinette to right of sink (installed duplex receptacle) to plug things into that run exclusively off the inverter while not hooked up to shore power. Works pretty well as long as the house battery that inverter is connected to stays charged. Did this first, but wasn't enough so I moved on to the systems below. 2. Put 2000 watt Bluetti solar generator battery pack (runs 110V and about size of computer) in the closet and ran a power strip cord through the back top side of the frig cabinet mounting the power strip on the dinette side of the frig cabinet where I plug in: Flat screen tv, dvd player, accent lighting strip, charge phones off USB power strip, etc... I have portable solar panels that will charge the Bluetti when boondocking and when home, I plug the shore power in and charge the bluetti by plugging it into the receptacle above the frig and the shore power charges Bluetti. It will run things for a very time and charges quickly. Sounds clunky, but works very well. All wires hidden. 3. I also have a rack on the back of the sunrader into the 2" square itch receiver that holds a concealed Honda EU 2000 watt generator installed and cabled off in a perfect size black plastic tool box bought off Zoro. When using the microwave I installed in place of the range hood, I start up the Honda generator and plug into the generator which operates the microwave and everything else inside and also charges the Bluetti if it's plugged into the receptacle inside above the frig. Again, sounds clunky, but it's pwoerful, sips gas, concealed, works really well, reliable, quiet and efficient. I'd say I get the most benefit for my use of the motorhome out of the Bluetti and the Honda generator. Takes the burden off the house battery which is now used only to run lights and the power ventilation fan I installed in the ceiling which is critical because I have no AC. Nice thing is, the Bluetti solar generator, inverter and generator are all basically hidden from view and all supplement each other. Just running off a house battery I can't imagine when boondocking. I also have a small maybe 18" x 18" solar panel that I use to charge the house battery when weather is good and I'm boondocking and using the ceiling fan a lot during the day. Actually helps and was cheap on Amazon. Anyway, your project is very cool! Beautiful work! Best of luck moving forward. Gary
