I have the same system on an 18’ van. It’s a brilliant system and everything you said is spot on. I’ve built a mechanism on the roof which has 3 x 400w fixed panels on the top layer and another 2 x 400w panels with remote control actuators that can pop out from underneath them. We have the option to run 1200w, 1600w or 2000w off the roof. On a sunny day it puts 1.6kw into the 5kw battery and can run the aircon for 7hrs without touching the battery.
