Went LiFePO4 in the van last year and never looked back. The voltage stability alone is worth it — AGMs would sag to 11.8V under kettle load, the Fogstar stays flat until it's genuinely low. Fair...

Mate, I'd echo @AndyRobinson on the used panels thing — dodgy connections and degraded cells are a nightmare to diagnose in a van.

Spot on thread. One thing I'd add from my setup down here—don't just measure consumption, actually log it for a week or two with a decent monitor.
