You're working with Mike H, I found out, we're following the conversation over of the Book of Faces now. The friend I mentioned is west-coast and a roaming installer, https://www.offthegridcamper.com/ IMO at the price point for 50Ah + extras, 45Ah usable, you're at almost 4X the cost of a quality proven AGM 100Ah with 50Ah usable, that requires little in the way of extras. The cost vs Ah in Lithium systems becomes much more attractive as the size goes up, but may I suggest starting with 100Ah to get more Ah/$.
