Agreed, for the time we need extended off grid power, we carry a Bluetti 200V2 and plug a shorepower extension into it. We also re-charge the the bluetti via car charger cord via downrigger adapter.Yes, I did. I did a little solar upgrade. I bought a Renogy shadowflux solar panel, a victron charge controller, and two Renogy Group 31 batteries. Very happy with the batteries. Getting very good harvest from the shadowflux. I may add a second one.
I haven't gone to lithium as its a lot of work and a lot cost. I have a built in generator so I'm not motivated to re-engineer the whole system for lithium.
