I'd like suggestions for a more modular DIY rig based off a HD 5-gal bucket. 12V power I already have, so I guess a powerful pump / hoses / nozzle set? recirculating water heater is just "would be nice", but personally I'd prefer propane-based for that, ideally with a thermostatic max-temp...

Ventilation, as in exchange with the outside air.

Ventilation should be all that's needed. Insulation of the box only in extreme cold

what year?

LFP cells of good quality while very healthy, will hold voltage from sagging pretty darn well under a 0.5C continuous load for a few minutes maybe even 10-15 minutes But if you're planning on doing that regularly, best to double/triple your Ah capacity in order to reduce the C-rate. Not just...

Absolutely stupid there is no easily replaced cell set. 800 is optimistic for li-ion. LFP might get 10x that if cared for properly, but then that requires the BMS and cells are directly accessible. I wish someone sold a unit that was everything BUT the cells But then it likely would still not...

tow capacity?

The storage capacity is needed to get past low insolation days. Just overnight, a 100Ah battery (@12V so 1kWh) is plenty, assuming not to many other loads. To really capture the output from 200W panelage, up to 400Ah would be better. My goal is bridging at least 3 rainy days, leaving 20-30%...

Voltage means almost nothing. Like water pressure with a spigot off. Only amps shows activity.

Tow capacity for insurance purposes?

Disregarding local regs, just looking at ride handling and safety, it's ALL about your weight distribution. Carry your water / waste tanks, battery bank, propane bottles, galley appliances, recovery winch etc forward of an axle place your sleeping / sitting spaces to the rear and you can...

That's going to be a fantastic electric powerplant. With a high-Ah LFP House bank, will support lots of mod cons, big freezer, all electric galley...

If someone has obviously neglected doing their preparation before posting, and that annoys you, makes you feel taken advantage of one option that does no harm, is to simply move on and ignore their request for help.

Also a 24V system would be consuming double the energy watts at the same amps rate, so the 12V should be mentioned somewhere.
