I finally received the battery cells that I ordered on 12/31. They are 190AH LiFePo4 cells from BLS, should be plenty to power my camper.
Well packed.
Buss Bars
Individual battery protection
Three cells at 3.69V, one at 3.71V.

Watching this. I have a '17 Hawk that I'd like to add H20 and HW heater in.
Are you in the Phx. area by chance?

I am in south Tempe.
Are you the same Oilbrnr from the Duramax forum? If you are then we did some cooling testing with my truck/toy hauler up the B Line many years ago.

That would be me! Small world. Oh, the wonderfully warm LLY's. Can't say I miss that truck, though I did like the transmission. Were you Imwilco on that board?
I might want to pick your brain a bit on this build if you don't mind... I bought my used Hawk last August and I decided to use it for a year to get a feel of what I wanted to do inside. It has heat, the glass Dometic cooktop, one powered fan and the Yakima tracks. Otherwise, nada. I do have a Alu-Cab awning sitting in my shop waiting patiently, however.
PM me if you're available to chat or let me visit.

Nice looking, good price. Not much detail on the BMS though, unless I missed it. I wonder what the max current output is, max charging current, and the charging temperature cut off.
I bought two Battleborn 100AH to put in parallel, because I want to be able to pull 160+ Amps out of the system while using my induction cooktop. Each BB only puts out 100A before the short circuit protection kicks in.

They are cells, I will be adding a Chargery BMS8T to control the finished battery. I will be able to pull 190A continous out of the battery, should be plenty to power my inverter which is the highest load that I will have. The manufacture recommends max charge current of 95A. I will set the charge cutoff to 3 deg C.

Excellent! I bet lots of folks here will be following your progress!

More progress in the last two days.
Cutting the template for the sink cutout. Once this was completed I attached it to the top of the counter and used a router with a pilot bearing to cut the hole.
Sink and stove installed in the counter.
Water heater sitting in place, I cut the hole through the outside. I need to add some spacers between the water heater and the tubes in the frame, The thickness I need is 1/8", 1/2" and 7/8". I need to decide between pieces of oak or aluminum, I think I will probably go with aluminum and rivet in place.
