I just recently installed a Renology 100Ah lithium battery under the
driver's seat.  It just fits!  I had to raise the hinged lid by 1/2
inch by adding a piece of 1/2 x 3/4 inch aluminum angle at the hinge
area but it works with the carpet etc over the top of it.  We had a
50Ah in there before and it was just not enough with the fantastic fan
and Engle freezer between the seats.  I will upgrade our 100w panel to
two 100w panels on the roof and hopefully all should be good.  We are
adding a propex soon so I am anticipating needing a bit more charging
and reserve.

The rest of the setup is an 80watt Zamp solar and a two bank SportMarine battery manager.  It was more than adequate until I added a propex heater. When it  is very cold and the propex is running a lot, or very hot and I am trying to keep ice cream frozen, combined with a group of people wanting to charge every kind of device, my setup is at its limit. Next year I may upgrade the solar.
