After waiting 10 months I finally have my new Hawk Shell. FWC installed it yesterday and it's beautiful! Now to start outfitting it. I ordered my Hawk with a propane heater and cook top. I also got the roof mounted 160W solar system to keep my 12V AGM battery topped off and a single MaxAir fan. I'd like to get a small compressor fridge but don't know if my single AGM and solar panel will provide enough Ah to run it. If not, I had planned to buy a 100W Lithium battery but was told by the installer that I can't do that without an extensive, and expensive, electrical upgrade to my camper. He said that while the MPPT controller could handle the Lithium battery, the battery separator couldn't, and that it couldn't be charged from the truck's alternator without the electrical upgrade. This was news to me since I thought the AGM battery could easily be swapped out for a Lithium battery. Was the installer correct or just trying to sell me an expensive upgrade?
Thanks,
Kim
